Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-methoxy-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one 12.8 (0.1 mole) in 40 ml CH2Cl2 at 0° C. was added 16.0 g (0.1 mole) of bromine in 10 ml of CH2Cl2. Then 14 ml of triethylamine was added dropwise at 0° C. and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stir for two hours. The reaction was then diluted with 200 ml of toluene. After filtration, the organic solution was then washed with 5% NaHCO3 and brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to yield the crude product as light brown solid Recrystallisation from ethyl acetate afforded the title compound (17 g, 82%) as a white crystalline solid. m.p. 74-75° C.
