3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → (1S,5R,6R,7R)-6-[(E)-3(RS)-t-butyl-dimethylsilyloxy-1-octenyl]-7-tetrahydropyranyloxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,5R,6R,7R)-6-[(E)-3(RS)-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-1-octenyl]-7-hydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one (45) (4.69 g) in methylene chloride were added dihydropyran (5.17 g), and pyridinium p-toluenesufonate (0.77 g), and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was treated in the conventional manner and the obtained crude product was subjected to the silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound (46) as a mixture of the diastereomers.
