Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 18.9 g of 3-[4-(phenylmethoxy)-phenoxy]-1,2-propanediol in 50 ml of pyridine and 24 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added 25.57 g of methoxy trityl chloride in several portions. This mixture was stirred for 24 hours and the solvents removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in chloroform, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, then water, dried and evaporated, giving 30 g of the desired compound.
