3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran → HCID 12042339, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diol 37 (3.4 g, 10 mmol) and 2.2 g (26 mmol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran were dissolved in 80 mL of CH2Cl2, and 240 mg (1.3 mmol) of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate was added at 0° C. After 1 h, the reaction was poured into 50 mL of saturated NaHCO3 and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×40 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated, and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate, 1/1) to afford 4.5 g (87%) of bis-THP ether 38.
