Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-hydroxytetrahydropyran (59.2 g, 0.58 mol) and triphenyl-λ5-phosphanylidene)-acetic acid ethyl ester (201.3 g, 0.58 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.2 L) was heated at reflux for 14 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature to afford 7-hydroxy-hept-2-enoic acid ethyl ester in tetrahydrofuran and was then used directly in the next step.
