Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of (4-{4-chloro-phenyl}-tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-acetic acid [3.3 g, Reference Example 21(a)] in anhydrous methanol (125 mL), under argon, was treated with concentrated sulfuric acid (8 drops). This mixture was stirred at reflux temperature for 5.5 hours then evaporated. The residue was treated with ethyl acetate (35 mL) and the resulting solution was washed three times with water (10 mL), then dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated to give the title compound (3.12 g) as a pale amber oil. LC-MS: RT=3.43 minutes, MS(ES+): 269 and 271(M+H)+.
