Methacrylic Acid → Tetrahydropyranyl methacrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

a solution of 25.0 g (290 mmol) methacrylic acid and 27.8 g (330 mmol) dihydropyran in 80 ml of dichloromethane was stirred for 14 hr at room temperature. The reaction mixture was thoroughly extracted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was distilled to give 1.84 g (10.8 mmol; 3.7% yield) tetrahydropyran-2-yl methacrylate, bp 53° C. at 0.2 torr.
