Abstract
Abstract An oxymercuration reaction between methyl acrylate and the monobenzyl ethers (3) of mono-, di-, and triethylene glycol, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride, gives the expected polyether esters (4). These are converted by standard procedures into various derivatives of the ω-hydroxy and ω-amino acids (1) and (2) respectively.
