p-Toluenesulfonic acid → 1-ethyl 1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)cyclopropanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 1-hydroxycyclopropanecarboxylate (1040 mg, 8.000 mmol) and PTSA (137 mg, 0.800 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added a solution of DHP (1344 mg, 16.00 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 20 h at room temperature. After concentration, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (10/1) to afford the title compound (1500 mg, 85%) as oil. LC-MS (ESI): m/z=215 (M+H)+.
