Highly selective monotetrahydropyranylation of symmetrical diols catalysed by a strongly acidic ion-exchange resin

Several primary and secondary symmetrical diols, ranging from propane-1,3-diol to decane-1,10-diol, are selectively monoprotected by monotetrahydropyranyl ether formation catalysed by a strongly acidic ion-exchange resin (Dowex 50w × 2, 50–100 mesh) in a 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-hydrocarbon mixture.
