Reaction Steps

5-Hydroxy-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one (1.50 g, 6.60 mmol) was charged in a 30 mL sealed tube equipped with a magnetic stirrer and under inert atmosphere. Anhydrous DMF (10 mL), Cs2CO3 (2.30 g, 7.00 mmol) and 1,6-dibromo-hexane (3.20 g, 13.30 mmol) were successively added. The reaction mixture was stirred 2 h at 60° C. After evaporation of DMF, the crude compound was purified by column chromatography (SiO2; CH2Cl2:EtOAc=8:2) to give after evaporation 5-(6-bromo-hexyloxy)-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one 3 as an oil (190 mg, 52% yield).
