Reaction Steps

Alternatively, suitable 4-(hydroxyalkyl)phenols or 4-(hydroxyalkyl)thiophenols may be protected in one step by combining a solution of the selected 4-(hydroxyalkyl)phenol or 4-(hydroxyalkyl)thiophenol in acetone with Na2SO4, dihydropyran, and a catalytic amount of oxalic acid. For example, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenol in acetone is reacted with Na2SO4, distilled dihydropyran, and a catalytic amount of oxalic acid for three hours to yield 4-(2-tetrahydropyran-2-yloxyethyl)phenol (9).
