The paper describes and compares the two methods of synthesis of florol (1) (4-methyl-2-(2-methylpropyl) tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ol) by the Prins reaction. The first method involves the reaction for obtaining 1 in methylene chloride as solvent at 60°C. The second method applies the preparation of florol (1) and other tetrahydrofuran derivatives in solvent-free conditions in room temperature.
