1. 1
   FiltrationThe solution was filtered through aluminum oxide (100 g), which
2. 2
   Washwas washed with CH2Cl2 (500 mL)
3. 3
   ConcentrationThe filtrate was concentrated in vacuo

Procedure

Under N2 atmosphere, 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (8.19 g, 98 mmol) was added drop-wise to a stirred solution of 5-bromo-2-methyl-2-phenyl-pentan-1-ol (20 g, 78 mmol) at −5° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred for 5 h. The solution was filtered through aluminum oxide (100 g), which was washed with CH2Cl2 (500 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to furnish 2-(5-bromo-2-methyl-2-phenyl-pentyloxy)-tetrahydropyran (25.23 g, 96.2%) as an oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3/TMS): δ (ppm) 7.26-7.08 (m, 5H), 4.45 (m, 1H), 3.72 (m, 1H), 3.58 (m, 1H), 3.35-3.05 (m, 2H), 3.28 (t, J=6.6, 2H), 1.95-1.39 (m, 10H), 1.25 (s, 3H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3/TMS): δ (ppm) 145.37, 128.14, 126.51, 126.03, 99.06, 98.92, 61.91, 61.80, 41.82, 41.74, 37.58, 37.43, 34.65, 30.61, 27.88, 25.58, 23.03, 22.89, 19.39, 19.32.
