Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a stirred solution of 12 parts of 2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-ethyl]oxirane in 1.8 parts of sulfuric acid and 160 parts of 2-propanone are added 100 parts of water. The whole is stirred for 2 days at room temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred with a sodium bicarbonate solution and the product is extracted with trichloromethane. The extract is dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 1-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,2-ethanediol as a residue. the product is extracted with trichloromethane The extract is dried filtered evaporated
