After the addition was complete, the solution was cooled to room temperature and DCM (2 L) added, followed by triethylene glycol monoethyl ether (500 g, 2.81 mol). p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (535 g, 2.81 mol) was added portion-wise over a period of 10 minutes, and the mixture refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into water (2 L), mixed well and separated. The organic phase was washed with water (2×2 L), dried over MgSO4, filtered and solvent removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting clear, colourless oil was stirred at room temperature with a 10% aqueous NaOH solution (1 L) to hydrolyze unreacted p-toluenesulfonyl chloride. After 18 hours, the material was poured into water (1 L), extracted with chloroform (500 mL) and separated. The organic portion was washed with water (2 L), 10% HCl (2 L) and water (2 L). The material was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and solvent removed by rotavap to afford (103) as a clear, colourless oil (595 g, 64%).
