Reaction Steps

[Hydroxy-(3-nitro-phenyl)-methyl]-phosphonic acid dimethyl ester (26.7 g, 0.102 mol) was suspended in dry toluene (340 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. 3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyrane (20.6 mL, 0.228 mol, 2.2 eq) was added, followed by p-toluensulfonic acid (590 mg, 0.003 mol, 0.03 eq) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 h. the reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure, taken up with ethyl acetate (300 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness. The desired product was obtained in quantitative yield as a yellow solid (mixture of 2 diastereoisomers).
