Procedure

Sodium borohydride was added in small portions to a methanolic solution of 4-chloro-2,6-diacetylphenol (5 g) until the colour was completely discharged. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure to give a white solid which was washed with water and dilute hydrochloric acid. The product, 2,6-bis(1-hydroxyethyl)-4-chlorophenol, was obtained as a pale yellow gum (4.5 g).
