Phosphoric Acid → 2-[(Octan-2-yl)oxy]ethan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Hexyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (30 g, 0.17 mol), the palladium catalyst (2) (2.2 g) and phosphoric acid (110 mg) were charged in a 70-mL autoclave, followed by a reaction under a hydrogen pressure of 10 MPa at 150° C. for 5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst was removed by filtration to obtain a crude product (29.7 g).
