4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 53951603, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cool solution of the diol prepared according to g) (2.0 g, 10.2 mmole) in pyridine (22 ml) was added p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (2.13 g, 11.2 mmole) in small portions and over 30 min. The mixture was stirred at 0° for 30 min and then stored overnight at 3°. The usual extraction with ether and treatment of the organic phase gave 2.85 g of a crude product which, on thin layer chromatographic analysis, showed two components. The further purification of this product by MPLC [LOBAR® column (origin: Merck), mixture of hexane-ethyl acetate as elution agent] gave 2.20 g (yield: 61.6%) of the desired product, i.e. 6-hydroxy-4,9-dimethyl-3,7,9-decatrienyl p-toluenesulfonate, and 220 mg of an unidentified by-product.
