Sodium Chloride → 2H-Pyran, tetrahydro-2-(10-undecyn-1-yloxy)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

17.5 g (0,104 mol) of undec-10-yn-1-ol were dissolved in 100 ml of dichloromethane and 25 ml of dihydropyran, and a catalytic amount (spatula tipful) of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate was added. The reaction mixture was left to stand overnight at room temperature and poured into saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. Extraction with dichloromethane (3×), drying (Na2SO4) of the combined organic phases and flash chromatography on silica gel (n-heptane/ethyl acetate=10:1) gave 24 g (92% of theory) of 11-tetrahydropyranyloxyundecyne.
