Reaction Steps

Solid para-toluenesulfonyl chloride (1.26 g) was added to a solution of (±)-5-(3-pyridyl)-1,3-pentanediol (1.20 g) and triethylamine (1.11 ml) in anhydrous dichloromethane (20 ml) at -30° C. under nitrogen. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature over 1 hour and stirring was continued for 24 hours. Methanol (1 ml) was added and the solution concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica eluting with hexane:acetone (3:2) to give the sub-title compound as an oil (1.05 g).
