Water → 1,1,2-Tribromo-2-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyethyl)cyclopropane

Participants

Reaction Steps

While cooling a solution of 3.00 g (0.00929 mol) of 1,1,2-tribromo-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclopropane in methylene chloride with 0.901 ml (0.0111 mol) pyridine to 0° C., 1.18 ml (0.00929 mol) of benzene sulfonyl chloride was added dropwise via pipet. Allowed to warm to room temperature. After 3 days, water was added. The resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the phases were separated. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed from the filtrate in vacuo to yield 3.10 g of 80% pure 1,1,2-tribromo-2-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyethyl)cyclopropane as an oil.
