Reaction Steps

4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)benzonitrile (200 mg, 1.35 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) was mixed with 4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (389 mg, 2.04 mmol) and triethylamine (569 μL, 4.08 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 1 day. After addition of water, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=9/1→3/1→1/1 (v/v)) to give the title compound as a colorless solid (174 mg, yield 43%).
