Hydrogen Bromide → 1-(Tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask made of glass having an inner volume of 10 ml and equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer and a reflux condenser were charged 0.38 g (2.0 mmol) of 4-acetyl-4-methoxycarbonyltetrahydropyran with a purity of 99% and synthesized in the same manner as in Reference example 1 and 1.70 g (10 mmol) of 47% hydrobromic acid, and the mixture was reacted at 120° C. for 1 hour with stirring. After completion of the reaction, when the reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography (Internal standard method), 0.17 g (Reaction yield: 65%) of 4-acetyltetrahydropyran was found to be formed.
