Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,2-difluoro-3-phthalimido-1-tetrahydropyranyloxypropane (2 g, 6.15 mmol), paratoluene sulfonic acid (0.1 g) in absolute ethanol was stirred overnight at room temperature. Then the mixture was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine. The organic phase was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude alcohol 2,2-difluoro-3-phthalimido-1-propanol (1.4 g) was used for the next step without further purification.
