Procedure

58 g (0.21 mol) of benzyl 5-ethoxycarbonylmethoxypentyl ether am dissolved in 580 ml of tetrahydrofuran and the solution is hydrogenate under normal pressure at room temperature by addition of 5.8 g of 10% Pd/C as catalyst. Upon cessation of hydrogenation, the catalyst is removed by filtration and the filtrate is concentrated by evaporation. Distillation of the residue gives 5-ethoxycarbonylmethoxypentanol as a colourless liquid of b.p. 107°-111° C./2.10-2 torr.
