“…The combined organic layer was dried over Na 2 SO 4 and evaporated. The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel (hexane−AcOEt, 10:1) to give trans -2-butyl-3-dimethylphenylsilyltetrahydropyran ( trans - 2a , 103 mg, 75%) and a mixture of ( E )-4-nonen-1-ol ( 4 , 15%) and 1a (6%, Z / E = 83/17). trans - 2a : bp 140 °C (0.30 Torr, bath temp); IR (neat) 2950, 1458, 1428, 1377, 1249, 1104, 731, 699 cm -1 ; 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ) δ 0.28 (s, 3H), 0.31 (s, 3H), 0.78 (t, J = 6.9 Hz, 3H), 1.03−1.59 (m, 10H), 1.70−1.79 (m, 1H), 3.20 (ddd, J = 10.6, 7.9, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 3.36 (td, J = 10.9, 3.6 Hz, 1H), 3.92−4.00 (m, 1H), 7.32−7.38 (m, 3H), 7.44−7.53 (m, 2H); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3 ) δ −3.66 (CH 3 ), −3.29 (CH 3 ), 13.98 (CH 3 ), 22.57 (CH 2 ), 25.93 (CH 2 ), 27.41 (CH 2 × 2), 30.05 (CH), 36.07 (CH 2 ), 68.38 (CH 2 ), 79.70 (CH), 127.71 (CH × 2), 128.84 (CH), 133.75 (CH × 2), 138.62 (C); MS m / z (relative intensity) 276 (M + , 0.6), 135 (100).…”
