Acetic Acid → 1-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl)cyclopropyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl)cyclopropanol (172 mg, 1 mmol) and acetic acid (120 mg, 2 mmol, Shantou Xilong chemical factory) in 2 mL of DCM was added DMAP (12 mg, 0.1 mmol, aladdin) at rt. After stirring for 30 min, DCC (840 mg, 4 mmol, Aldrich) was added at 0° C. The reaction was quenched with water after all of 1-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl)cyclopropanol disappeared (monitored by TLC) (about 4 hours). The solid formed during the reaction was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (PE: EtOAc=20:1) to give the desired compound as yellow oil (130 mg, 60.7%).
