Reaction Steps

To this compound, 0.5 g of PPTS and 100 ml of ethanol were added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature. After addition of water, the mixture was extracted with toluene. The organic layer thus obtained was neutralized, washed with water, dried, and then concentrated to obtain the desired (S) 1-(4-methoxyethoxymethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-propane.
