Procedure

At 0° C. to a solution of 6-methoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ol (222 mg, 1.680 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added 60% NaH (81 mg, 2.02 mmol) and the mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred at rt for 30 min. A solution of (bromomethyl)benzene (345 mg, 2.016 mmol) in DMF (1 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred at rt for 18 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ether and quenched with water. The crude product was purified by silica gel FCC (20% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford 5-(benzyloxy)-2-methoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.29-7.41 (5H, m), 4.53-4.64 (3H, m), 3.90 (1H, dd, J=12.05, 2.51 Hz), 3.56-3.65 (1H, m), 3.46-3.53 (1H, m), 3.43 (3H, s), 1.97-2.14 (2H, m), 1.69-1.81 (1H, m), 1.48-1.60 (1H, m).
