Iodoethane → 3-Ethyloxan-4-one

Temperature

-78 °C

To a mixture of tetrahydropyran-4 one (5 g, 0.05 mol) and hexamethylphosphoramide (9 mL) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added lithium diisopropylamide (34.7 mL, 0.062 mol) dropwise at −78° C. under N2. After the addition the mixture was stirred for 0.5 h at −78° C. Iodoethane (7.78 g, 0.199 mol) was added to the mixture dropwise. The ddresulting mixture was stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. TLC (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=4:1) indicated the reaction was not complete, the mixture was quenched with aqueous ammonium chloride (100 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL), the combined organic layers was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica using petroleum ether: ethyl acetate from 15:1 to 10:1 to yield compound the title compound (2.5 g, 39.1%) as a colorless liquid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ (ppm): 4.15 (m, 2H), 3.80 (m, 1H), 3.45 (m, 1H), 2.58 (m, 1H), 2.48 (m, 2H), 1.81 (m, 1H), 1.30 (m, 1H), 0.92 (m, 3H).
