By the method of Example 1, Step I, 15.7 g (0.0761 mole) of methyl 2-(3-formylphenoxy)propionate, 0.76 g (0.020 mole) of sodium borohydride, and 0.10 g (0.0018 mole) of sodium methoxide were reacted in 40 mL of methanol, yielding 15.6 g of methyl 2-(3-hydroxymethylphenoxy)propionate as a yellow liquid. The NMR and IR spectra were consistent with the proposed structure.
