4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → Diethyl 5-p-toluenesulfonyloxypentylphosphonate

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

30 g (0.134 mol) of diethyl 5-hydroxypentylphosphonate (see Example 21) were dissolved in 200 ml of pyridine, and the solution was cooled to 0° C. and treated with stirring with 26.1 g (0.134 mol) of 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, taken up in ethyl acetate, washed several times with 20% strength citric acid solution and water and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporating the solvent, a pale yellow oil remained, which was employed without further purification.
