Reaction Steps

To a solution of titanium (IV) chloride (11.1 g) in THF (50 mL) was added dropwise under ice-cooling a solution of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (4.26 g) and 3-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (3.0 g) in THF (50 mL) at 0° C., and then a solution of pyridine (4.00 g) in THF (20 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hr, and water was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (3.50 g) as a yellow solid. This compound was used for the next step without further purification.
