Benzyl carbamate → HCID 25260225, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2H-pyran-3(6H)-one (2.33 g, 23.75 mmol), benzyl carbamate (4.31 g, 28.5 mmol), and DCM (2.375 mL) were added to a small vial and stirred vigorously. To the thick syrup was added bismuth(III) nitrate pentahydrate (1.728 g, 3.56 mmol). The vial was capped and the reaction was stirred vigorously overnight. The reaction was diluted with DCM and filtered through a pad of celite. The filtrate was condensed and purified on a 100G SNAP Biotage column (10-100% ethyl acetate in hexane) to give benzyl 5-oxotetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ylcarbamate (4.35 g, 17.45 mmol, 73.5% yield) as a pale yellow oil; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.28-7.41 (m, 5H), 5.20-5.28 (m, 1H), 5.05-5.15 (m, 2H), 4.24-4.35 (m, 1H), 4.01-4.06 (m, 1H), 3.89-3.95 (m, 1H), 3.80-3.87 (m, 1H), 2.73 (d, J=5.47 Hz, 1H), 2.64-2.71 (m, 1H).
