3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → 6-Chloro-2-hydroxy-4-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloro-2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (9.0 g, 52.2 mmol) in DCM (150 mL) was added 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (9 mL, 98.4 mmol), followed by PPTs (1.31 g, 5.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h and quenched by saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (50 mL) at 0° C. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine (40 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Concentration in vacuo followed by purification with column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc/PE=1:100) gave the title compound as a colorless oil (10.5 g, Yield: 87.3%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ12.00 (s, 1H), 10.17 (s, 1H), 6.72-6.78 (m, 1H), 6.57-6.64 (m, 1H), 5.50-5.70 (t, 1H), 3.60-3.73 (m, 2H), 1.55-1.87 (m, 6H) MS (ESI) m/z=257 [M+H]+.
