Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of delta-valerolactone (1.854 mL, 19.98 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added 1M phenylmagnesium bromide (19.98 mL, 19.98 mmol) dropwise at room temperature (exothermic), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hrs. Then the reaction was quenched with saturated NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with brine, and the combined aqueous layers were back extracted with EtOAc once and combined. The extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to give an oily residue. It was purified by Combiflash (120 g silica gel) eluting with 4:6 followed by 1:1 EtOAc-hexane to give 1.97 g of 2-phenyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-ol as oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CCl3D) δ ppm 7.92-8.00 (1H, m), 7.17-7.60 (5H, m), 3.67 (1H, t, J=6.15 Hz), 3.03 (1H, t, J=7.14 Hz), 2.25-2.37 (1H, m), 1.75-1.92 (2H, m), 1.54-1.71 (2H, m), 1.30-1.43 (1H, m).
