Reaktionsschritte

4-Nitrobenzyl chloride (5.0 g, 29.1 mmole) and sodium p-toluenesulfinate (6.8 g, 37.9 mmole) were dissolved in 50 mL of dry DMF. The mixture was stirred at about 23° for about 18 hours then diluted with water. The sulfone crystallized from the aqueous mixture and was filtered. The sulfone was purified by recrystallization from ethanol to give a pale yellow crystalline solid, mp 188°-190° (7.6 g, 25.9 mmole, 89%): IR (KBr) 2994, 1598, 1514, 1490, 1342, 1312, 1304, 1148, 824 cm-1 ; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.44 (s, 3H), 4.38 (s, 2H), 7.27 (m, 4H), 7.53 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 8.13 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H); MS m/e 292 (MH+).
