Procedure
To a solution of 5-bromo-m-xylene (5.55 g) in THF (60 ml) was added n-butyl lithium (17.8 ml) at −78° C. under an atmosphere of argon. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour. To the reaction solution was added tetrahydropyran-4-one (2.0 g) and the mixture was stirred for additional 3 hours. To the reaction solution was added water and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate:n-hexane=1:3) to give the title compound (2.6 g) having the following physical data.
