Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrahydropyranyl-4-carboxylic acid (14.7 g, 0.11 mol) and DMF (0.5 ml) in DCM (150 ml) was treated dropwise with oxalyl chloride (1.1 eq, 10.9 ml, 0.12 mol). After 1 h the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residual slurry was diluted with ET2O (200 ml) and the resulting precipitate removed by filtration. The filtrate was treated with ethoxyacetylene (40% w/w solution in hexanes, 1.3 eq, 18 ml) followed dropwise with triethylamine (25 ml, 0.19 mol) and the reaction stirred for 11d. Filtration and concentration of the filtrate in vacuo followed by chromatography (SiO2, 5:1 EtOAc:hexanes) gave the title compound as a pale yellow oil (12.1 g, 59%). δH (CDCl3, 300K) 4.85 (1H, s), 4.23 (2H, q, J 7.1 Hz), 3.89-3.75 (4H, m), 1.88-1.79 (4H, m), 1.47 (3H, t, J 7.1 Hz); m/z (ES+, 70V) 182.9 (MH+).
