Mode opératoire

A mixture of 2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (3.3 g, 31.1 mmol), tetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one (3.12 g, 31.2 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (268 mg, 1.41 mmol) and benzene (68.3 ml) was refluxed in a round bottom flask equipped with a cooling tube and Dean-Stark for 6 hours. After cooled to room temperature, triethylamine (1 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (silica gel: 200 g, elution solvent: heptane, heptane/ethyl acetate=1/1, 1/3) to obtain the title compound (3.80 g, yield: 64.9%) as a colorless oil.
