3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → 2-(5-Bromopentyloxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 36 g of 5-bromopentan-1-ol were added 24.72 ml of 2,3-dihydropyran and 3 drops of phosphorus oxychloride under cooling in an ice bath, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether, washed with 5% aqueous potassium hydroxide, water, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:19) as eluent to give 49.5 g of the subtitle compound having the following physical characteristics:
