3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → 2-(4-Bromobutoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyran (8.5 mL, 90.96 mmol) was added dropwise to the dichloromethane (20 mL) solution of 51 (10.7 g, 69.93 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (26.5 mg, 0.1372 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature over night. After removing the solvent, the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with 5:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate as the eluent to yield product 52 as a colorless oil (15.3 g, 92%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.48-1.62 (m, 4H), 1.68-1.85 (m, 4H), 1.94-2.02 (m, 2H), 3.40-3.53 (m, 4H), 3.74-3.88 (m, 2H), 4.57-4.59 (m, 1H).
