Procedure

Under an atmosphere of nitrogen, a mixture of 250 mg of magnesium, 2.8 g of 5-bromo-1-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)pentane, 200 μl of ethyl bromide, a trace amount of iodine and 4 ml of tetrahydrofuran was refluxed with heating for one hour. To it were added 516 mg of crotonic acid sec-butyl ester and 14 mg of cuprous chloride at 0° C. over a period of 30 minutes, the mixture stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes, and then at room temperature for one hour. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride, extracted with ethyl acetate, the extract washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of methylene chloride and ethyl acetate (20:1) as eluent to give 529 mg of the subtitle compound having the following physical characteristics:
