Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-methanol (5.8 g) and benzyl chloride (5.2 g) in 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide (16 g) and 10 ml methylene chloride was treated with 0.7 g tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate. After stirring vigorously for 21 hours at room temperature, the mixture was diluted with more methylene chloride and water to facilitate phase separation. The organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried over potassium carbonate and concentrated. Distillation gave 7.6 g colorless liquid with bp 101°-102° C. (0.02 torr).
