1-Decanoyloxypropan-2-one (44.3 g, 0.194 mole) was dissolved in a solution of tetrahydrofuran (1100 cm3) and benzene (200 cm3). After cooling to 5°, ice water (80 cm3) was added. Sodium borohydride (11 g, 0.291 mole) was added to the stirred solution in small proportions to maintain the temperature at 5°. After addition the reaction was stirred at 5° for 45 minutes and glacial acetic acid (14 cm3) was added dropwise. Stirring at 5° was continued for a further 30 minutes. Diethyl ether and chloroform (200 cm3 each) were added and the mixture washed with water (2×200 cm3), a 1% sodium bicarbonate solution (200 cm3) and brine (200 cm3). The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated to yield 1-decanoyloxypropan-2-ol as a colorless liquid (44.0 g, 0.191 mole, 98%), ir (neat) 3600-3100, 2920, 2860, 1730, 1460, 1375, 1240, 1175, 1110, 1055 cm-1 ; pmr (CDCI3) δ 4.0 (m, 2 H), 3.6 (m, 1 H), (D2) m 1 H), 2.3 (t, 2 H), 2.0-1.0 (bm, 17 H) and 0.85 (t, 3 H) ppm.
