Abstract
A number of 2,6-dialkoxy-3-bromotetrahydropyrans were obtained by the electrochemical bromomethoxylation of 2-alkoxy-Δ 5-dihydropyrans. An assumption regarding the stereo-specificity of the electrochemical and chemical bromoalkoxylation was stated on the basis of the dehydrobromination and hydrogenation of the compounds obtained and on the basis of the results of gas-liquid chromatography: the reaction proceeds as cis and trans addition at the multiple bond, and the alkoxy group occupies only the trans position with respect to the alkoxy group already present in the ring. The isomeric 2,6-dialkoxy-Δ 4-dihydropyrans are formed along with 2,6-dialkoxy-Δ 3-dihydropyrans in the dehydrobromination of 2,6-dialkoxy-3-bromotetrahydropyrans.
