Route of Synthesis (ROS)
| Conditions | Yield |
| With lithium aluminium tetrahydride In diethyl ether for 1h; Ambient temperature; | 86% |
| With lithium aluminium tetrahydride In diethyl ether at 0℃; for 0.5h; | 85.6% |
| Stage #1: Ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate With lithium aluminium tetrahydride In diethyl ether at 0 – 20℃; for 3h; Inert atmosphere; Stage #2: With water In diethyl ether Experimental Procedure 5.2. General procedure for the synthesis of 1,3-diols from β-hydroxyesters General procedure: This method was adapted from the literature.14 To a suspension of LiAlH4 (7.6 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry diethyl ether (6 mL) was added a solution of β-hydroxyester (7.6 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry diethyl ether (5 mL) at 0 °C. The mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature and then quenched with distilled water (1 mL). After 10 mn, a 30% NaOH solution (1.5 mL) was added followed by 1 mL of distilled water. The reaction mixture was passed through a Celite pad. The filtrate was dried over MgSO4, concentrated under vacuum and purified by column chromatography if necessary (silica gel, cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 20/80) to afford the desired diol. | 81% |
