Procedure

The procedure in Example 4 was followed except that 3-acetoxy-2-methylpropionaldehyde was hydrogenated in place of 4-acetoxybutyraldehyde, in the presence of 5% by weight of methanol. After a hydrogenation time of 30 minutes and after working up as described in Example 4, pure 3-acetoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol was obtained in 99% yield.
