Participants

Reaction Steps

The product from Example 1 (10.0 g; 38 mmol) is dissolved in anhydrous pyridine (185 ml), and methanesulphonyl chloride (3.7 ml; 46 mmol) is slowly added dropwise at 0° C. The solution is stirred at room temperature for 6.5 h. Subsequently, the solution is diluted with dichloromethane (740 ml) and extracted twice with a 10% solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (250 ml on each occasion). The organic phase is dried (magnesium sulphate) and concentrated, and the residue is subsequently distilled repeatedly with toluene. Yield: 10.79 g (85%), brown oil.
