Abstract

Bifunctional compounds like 3-tetrahydropyranyloxypropanal derivatives are very useful intermediates for the synthesis of various prod~ cts. l-~ As part of our research program, we sought a method for the synthesis of compound 2b from ethyl 3.3-diethoxy-2-methyl propanoate 3.4 Herein, we report a convenient method for the one-pot preparation of aldehydes 2 from alcohols 1.
