3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → HCID 18637143, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.22 g of dl-trans-2-benzyloxymethyltetrahydropyran-3-ol (prepared as described in Preparation 2), 2.65 ml of dihydropyran and 0.05 g of pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate were dissolved in 40 ml of methylene chloride, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The solvent was then distilled off to give a residue, which was subjected to column chromatography through 80 g of silica gel. Those fractions eluted with mixtures of hexane and diethyl ether ranging from 6:1 to 5:1 by volume were worked up, to afford 2.93 g of the title compound as a colorless oil.
