Procedure

Cyclopentanol (10 g, 0.116 mol), p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (24.8 g, 0.128 mol) and ether (100 ml) were charged into a 200 cc round-bottom flask and dissolved. Then, potassium hydroxide (32.5 g, 0.58 mol) in a powder form was added slowly thereto while cooling below 10° C. in a water bath. After addition, the mixture was stirred as it was for additional 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was poured into ice-water (20 ml), and the organic layer and the aqueous layer were separated. The organic layer was dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain cyclopentyl p-toluenesulfonate as a pale yellow viscous liquid (22.0 g, 81.8% yield).
