Abstract
A general method for the preparation of 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-hexanediols is described. The synthesis involves the preparation of a corresponding ketohexanoate, which is reduced to the diol with lithium aluminum hydride. Countercurrent distribution was found useful in the purification of small amounts of intermediates and end products. 1,2-, 1,6-, and 2,5-hexanediols were also prepared by known procedures. The infrared spectra of these diols have been recorded and their p-nitrobenzoates were prepared.
