Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.2 g of 2-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride and 0.3 g of 4-dimethylaminopyridine in 30 mL of methylene chloride was cooled to 5° C. A solution of 2.2 g isopropanol and 3.7 g of triethylamine in 20 mL of methylene chloride was prepared and added dropwise to the solution of the sulfonyl chloride. The reaction mixture was returned to room temperature and allowed to stir for 3 hours. The mixture was treated with 200 mL of ether and washed with 60 mL of water. After removal of solvent in vacuo, 5.9 g of isopropyl 2-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonate was isolated.
