2-(6-Bromohexyloxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran is an intermediate in the synthesis of (4E, 11Z)-Sphingadienine-C18-1-phosphate which is a sphingoid base of sea cucumber cerebroside that may have cytotoxicity activity against human colon cancer cells.
2-(6-Bromohexyloxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran may be used as a reactant in the synthesis of diethyl 6-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)hexylphosphonate and 13-(tetrahydo-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)-6-tridecyn-1-ol.
2-(6-Bromohexyloxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran can be synthesized by reacting 6-bromohexanol and pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate in anhydrous dichloromethane.
