Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example XVIII was followed using 4.5 g of cis-4-ethyl-5-hydroxy-1,3-dioxane and 8.1 g of a methanolic solution 25% in sodium methylate, and 4.3 g of benzyl chloride in 180 ml of dry toluene. The reaction product was distilled under reduced pressure to give in free fractions 4.8 g of cis-5-benzyloxy-4-ethyl-1,3-dioxane; bp 96°-100°/0.01 mm; ir and nmr spectra were consistent with the assigned structure.
