Pyridine → HCID 20441011, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3.20 g (0.017 mole) of 2-isopropenyl-2-indanemethanol and 3.16 g (0.04 mole) of pyridine, with ice-cooling, was added 3.90 g (0.02 mole) of tosylchloride. The mixture was stirred for 24 hours, with ice-cooling, to complete the reaction. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, mixed with 50 ml of ether. And then the ether layer was separated, the aqueous layer was extracted twice with 25 ml of ether. The ether layers were combined, washed with 2% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, then with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to obtain 5.80 g of 2-iso-propenyl-2-indanylmethyl tosylate.
