Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g of 3-fluoro-propanol (64.03 mmol) and 18 ml of triethylamine (129.32 mmol) were dissolved in 50 ml of dichloromethane. At 0-5° C., 12.9 g toluene-4-sulfonylchloride (67.66 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 18 h. Standard work-up yielded 13.7 g of toluene-4-sulfonic acid 3-fluoro-propyl ester.
