General description
3-Benzyloxy-1-propanol is an organic building block. It undergoes cleavage selectively at the C3-O position in the presence of ruthenium catalyst.
Application
3-Benzyloxy-1-propanol may be used as starting reagent in the total synthesis of (+)-cocaine. It may be used in the synthesis of a series of galactosyl phosphate diester derivatives of 9-β-D-arabinofuranosyladenine and 1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine.
3-Benzyloxy-1-propanol may be used for the synthesis of 1-benzyloxy-3-iodopropane.

The ruthenium catalyzed selective sp(3) C-O cleavage with amide formation was reported in reactions of 3-alkoxy-1-propanol derivatives and amines. The cleavage only occurs at the C3-O position even with 3-benzyloxy-1-propanol. Based on the experimental results, O-bound and C-bound Ru enolate

[reaction: see text] The total synthesis of (+)-cocaine is described. An extension of the recently reported proline catalyzed intramolecular enol-exo-aldol reaction to a meso-dialdehyde provided the tropane ring skeleton directly with good enantiomeric excess. The meso-dialdehyde was prepared using a
