Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution (380 mL) of ethyl 3-hydroxy-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxylate (91.2 g) in diisopropyl ether were added vinyl hexanoate (150 mL) and Lipozyme IM (4.8 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at 35° C. for 24 hr and the insoluble material was filtered off. The obtained filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=6:1→1:1) to give the title compound (45.9 g, 50%).
