-070Preparation of ω-Hydroxy Acids by Reduction of α,ω-Methylene Diesters with NaBH4.-The reaction of dicesium salts of long chain dicarboxylic acids with methylene iodide leads to the corresponding methylene diesters. The reduction of these acylals (III) with NaBH4 in THF yields the ωhydroxy acids (IV) in good yield and selectivity. -(BENITEZ, P.; DELGADO, A.; FARRERA, J.-A.; RIBO, J. M.; Synth.
