3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → HCID 10878146, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (S)-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (1.0 g, 8.7 mmol, Aldrich) and DHP (1.46 g, 17.4 mmol, Alfa) in 20 mL of dichloromethane was added PPTS (0.437 g, 1.74 mmol, Aldrich) in portions. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 4 hrs, and was quenched with 20 mL of saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution. The resulted mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (25 mL×2). The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc) to give the title compound (as a diastereomer mixture) as colorless oil (0.9 g, 52%).
