Procedure

4-methoxy-4-(3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl)tetrahydropyran (1.2 g, 6.97 mmol) was treated with sodium hydride in THF (18 mL). After gas evolution ceased, a solution of 2-(bromomethyl)napthalene (1.70 g, 7.67 mmol) in dry DMF (9 mL) was added. After 3 hours at ambient temperature the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The resulting two-phase mixture was extracted with ether (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (100 g, 10% ethyl acetate: hexanes) provided the title compound. (2.00 g, 92%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3); 7.80-7.90 (4H, m), 7.47-7.52 (3H, m), 4.70 (2H, s), 4.32 (2H, s), 3.87 (2H, dd, J=12,4.5 Hz), 3.67 (2H, dd, J=12,3 Hz), 3.40 (3H, s), 1.95 (2H, br d, J=13 Hz), 1.49 (2H, ddd, J=13,9,4.5 Hz); MS (M+NH4)+ =328. Analysis calc'd for C20H22O3 : C, 77.39; H, 7.14; Found: C, 76.10; H, 7.10.
