Efficient preparation of 4-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran
摘要:
We report the efficient synthesis of 4-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran (MDHP) via the TiCl(4) driven elimination of MeOH from 4,4-dimethoxytetrahydropyran. The previous difficulty of preparing MDHP restricted the wider use of 4-methoxytetrahydropyran-4-yl (MTHP) acyclic acetals, which have desirable protecting group properties when compared to more commonly used MOM- and THP-acetals. The behaviour of the elimination on related acetals is also examined. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
