Reaktionsschritte

o-Anisidine (2.34 ml, 20 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (60 ml) to which were subsequently added, with cooling in an ice bath, pyridine (4.58 ml, 60 mmol), p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (3.89 g, 20 mmol) and a catalytically effective amount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine. After 2.5 hours of stirring at room temperature, the resulting reaction solution was mixed-with water (50 ml), extracted with ethyl acetate and then washed with water, 10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, 1N hydrochloric acid, water and saturated brine in that order. After drying on anhydrous magnesium sulfate and removing the solvent by evaporation, the resulting orange solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 ml), adsorbed to anhydrous magnesium sulfate (20 g), eluted with ether and then subjected to evaporation to remove the solvent. The resulting colorless solid which was then washed with an ether-hexane (1:1) mixture solution to obtain 3.44 g (62.0%) of the title compound in the form of colorless prism crystals.
