3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → (R)-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-propionic acid methyl ester

To a stirred solution of (R)-2-hydroxy-propionic acid methyl ester (10 g) and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (15 mL) in DCM (400 mL) was added camphorsulfonic acid (50 mg) (exothermic reaction). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours, and washed with saturated bicarbonate solution (20 mL). The organic layer was dried, filtered and concentrated to obtain crude (R)-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-propionic acid methyl ester, which was used as is in the next step. To a stirred suspension of LAH (4 g) in anhydrous ether (400 mL) at 0-5° C. was added (R)-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-propionic acid methyl ester dropwise over 30 minute period. After completion of the addition, the cold bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The resulting mixture was cooled to 0-5° C., and ethyl acetate was added dropwise to quench excess LAH, which was followed by the addition of saturated sodium sulfate solution and solid sodium sulfate. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, the solid was filtered off, and the solid was washed with ether. The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and the residue was purified by column chromatography using a silica gel stationary phase (pre-treated with 0.1 triethylamine in hexanes) and hexanes in ethyl acetate to get (R)-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-propan-1-ol. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 4.51-4.75 (1H, m) 3.76-4.02 (2H, m) 3.42-3.62 (3H, m) 1.67-1.90 (2H, m) 1.46-1.63 (4 h, m) 1.10-1.24 (3H, m).
