Participants

Reaction Steps

60% NaH (40.3 mg, 1.007 mmol) was added to a cold (−20° C.) solution of ethyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-carboxylate (158 mg, 0.839 mmol) in THF (3 mL) and the mixture was allowed to warm to rt over ˜30 min. Neat dimethyl sulfate (127 mg, 1.007 mmol) was added at 0° C. and allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight. Excess dimethyl sulfate was quenched with TEA, and then acidified with 1N HCl, product was extracted with ether, washed with water, brine and dried (MgSO4). Crude isolate was purified by silica gel FCC (0-2% MeOH in DCM) to afford ethyl 2-(methoxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-carboxylate. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 4.34-4.22 (m, J=7.2, 7.2, 7.2, 4.1 Hz, 2H), 3.96-3.87 (m, 1H), 3.86-3.77 (m, 1H), 3.55-3.43 (m, 2H), 3.36 (s, 3H), 2.17-2.07 (m, 1H), 1.80-1.70 (m, 1H), 1.69-1.56 (m, 2H), 1.55-1.42 (m, 3H), 1.32 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H).
