Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Acetamido-1,3-diacetoxy-2-[4-(4-hexylphenyl)butyl]propane (200.2 mg) was dissolved in 7 ml of methanol and 1 N sodium hydroxide was added thereto. The mixture was refluxed under heating for 5 hours. The solvent was distilled away and the residue obtained was purified by silica gel thin layer chromatography (methanol:chloroform=1:3) to give 79.7 mg of 2-amino-2-[4-(4-hexylphenyl)butyl]-1,3-propanediol as white crystals.
