Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 264 mg, 6.6 mmol) was added at 0° C. to a solution of 2-phenylethanol (807 mg, 6.61 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (8.6 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (3.4 mL), then after 1 h a solution of 2-(9-bromo-nonyloxy)-tetrahydro-pyran (2.44 g, 7.93 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1.5 mL) was added dropwise. The solution was allowed to reach room temperature over 16 h, then partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated. Chromatography (SiO2; heptane-ethyl acetate gradient) produced 2-(9-phenethyloxy-nonyloxy)-tetrahydro-pyran (898 mg, 39%). Colorless oil, m/e=366.2 ([M+NH4]+).
