A solution of 2,6-dibromo-4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-acetonitrile (59) (1.4 g, 4.59 mmol) in methylene chloride (30 mL) at room temperature was treated with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (0.46 mL, 5.04 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (16.10 mg, 0.085 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 45 min and was then treated with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (3 mL), a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 mL) and water (10 mL). This mixture was extracted with methylene chloride (3×50 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (30 mL), dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The resulting oil was purified by flash chromatography (Isco 120 g column) using silica gel eluted with 15% ethyl acetate in hexanes. The desired fractions were collected and concentrated under vacuum to afford an oil which was dried under high vacuum to afford of [2,6-dibromo-4-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxymethyl)-phenyl]-acetonitrile (60) as a pale yellow oil (1.52 g, 85.4%). Used without further purification. Molecular Weight=389.0892; Exact Mass=386.9470
