Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(2-Methoxy-1-methoxymethyl-ethoxy)-benzene (1.0 g) was dissolved in 10 mL of chloroform and the solution was cooled to −30° C. Chlorosulfonic acid (1 mL) was added dropwise while maintaining the temperature of the mixture below −20° C. Stirring was continued in succession for one hour at −20° C., for one hour at 5° C. and for 30 minutes at room temperature. The mixture was poured on ice, the organic layer washed with cold water, dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated yielding 0.8 g of 4-(2-methoxy-1-methoxymethyl-ethoxy)-benzenesulfonyl chloride as an oil. EI-MS: 294 (M+).
