Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-hydroxy-propan-2-one (95%, 78 g, 1.0 mol), 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrane (95%, 88.5 g, 1.0 mol) and pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (25.1 g, 0.1 mol) in THF (1.2 l) is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and repeatedly washed with brine. The organic phase is dried, filtered evaporated to afford 1-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)-propan-2-one (127.8 g, 80.8%) as a liquid.
