Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.5 g (146 mmol, 10 ml) acrylic acid and 14.0 g (166 mmol, 15.2 ml) dihydropyran in 40 ml dichloromethane was stirred at room temperature for one day. The mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and the organic layer was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was distilled to give 5.93 g (38.0 mmol, 26% yield) tetrahydropyran-2-yl acrylate, bp 40° C. at 0.2 torr.
