4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 11076628, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol (200 mg, 1.67 mmol, 1 equiv.), triethylamine (232 μL, 1.67 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) and tosyl chloride (317 mg, 1.67 mmol, 1 equiv.) in methylene chloride (5 mL, 0.29 M) was stirred at room temperature for 50 hours. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (10 g, hexanes/EtOAc 9:1 to 1:1) to afford (2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate as a colorless oil (260 mg, 457 mg theoretical, 56.9%). LC-MS m/z 275 (M+1).
