diethyl 2,2-bis(2-methylpropyl)propanedioate

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

Procedure: To 3 g (0.079 mol) LiAlH4 was added 100 ml ethyl ether, then added 15.5 g (0.057 mol) diethyl 2,2-diisobutylmalonate dropwise with intensely stirring. The reaction mixture was heated refluxing for 5 hours, then poured into 100 g ice that was acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted with ethyl ether. After remove ethyl ether from the extract, 2,2-diisobutyl-1,3-propandiol as a white solid was recrystallized from hexane, and the yield was 78%. m.p. 75-77° C. The reaction mixture was heated refluxing for 5 hours The mixture was extracted with ethyl ether After remove ethyl ether from the extract, 2,2-diisobutyl-1,3-propandiol as a white solid was recrystallized from hexane
