Reaction Steps

A 1M solution of lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride (8.79 mL, 8.79 mmol) was added dropwise to a cold (0° C.) stirred solution of diethyl tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,2-dicarboxylate (0.810 g, 3.52 mmol) in an. THF (9 mL). After the addition is complete the mixture was allowed to warm to rt and heated to reflux for 4-5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with ether and quenched with 20% NaHSO4 solution with vigorous stirring. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The crude isolate was purified by silica gel FCC (5% MeOH in DCM) to afford ethyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-carboxylate as a clear oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 4.29 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 3.95-3.87 (m, 2H), 3.71 (dd, J=11.2, 8.2 Hz, 1H), 3.62 (dd, J=11.2, 5.1 Hz, 1H), 2.24-2.16 (m, J=8.0, 5.3 Hz, 1H), 2.14-2.06 (m, 1H), 1.84-1.72 (m, 1H), 1.64-1.50 (m, 4H), 1.37-1.29 (m, 3H).
