Procedure
A solution of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran (140 mg, 0.586 mmol) in toluene/ethanol (10 mL, v/v=1/1) was charged into a hydrogenation Parr bottle followed by tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride (55 mg, 0.0586 mmol). The mixture was set up for 45 psi of hydrogen at 80° C. overnight. The mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound (50 mg, 35%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.46 (d, 2H) 7.23 (d, 2H) 4.29 (d, 1H) 4.13 (m, 1H) 3.60 (t, 1H) 1.95 (m, 1H) 1.81 (d, 1H) 1.60 (m, 3H) 1.27 (m, 1H).
