Cyclopentanol → 2-Cyclopentyloxy-5-methylsulfamoyl-benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2.85 mmol 2-hydroxy-5-methylsulfamoyl-benzoic acid methyl ester, 3.14 mmol cyclopentanol and 3.28 mmol triphenylphosphine in 10 ml THF was added 3.14 mmol di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate and the mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (eluant: ethyl acetate/heptane 2:3) to afford the title compound as a colourless oil. MS (m/e): 312.1 ([M−H]−, 100%)
