3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → 2-[(2-Bromophenyl)methoxy]oxane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (0.30 g, 0.0012 mol) was added to a solution of 2-bromobenzylalcohol (25 g, 0.134 mol) in dichloromethane (100 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. 3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyran (16.86 g, 0.20 mol) was added thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Then, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (200 ml) was added, and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (200 ml). After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated to give the desired 1-bromo-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxymethyl)benzene (36.00 g, yield: 99.3%) as an oil.
