4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 5-p-Toluenesulfonyloxy-2-methyl-2-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)aminopentane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-methyl-4-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)aminopentanol (1.63 g) and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (2.3 g) in pyridine (17 ml) was allowed to stand at 5° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether and water, washed successively with dilute hydrochloric acid, aqueous sodium bicarbonate and water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give 5-p-toluenesulfonyloxy-2-methyl-2-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)aminopentane.
