Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-methyl-, compd. with pyridine (1:1) → (2S,3S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane-2,3-diol

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In ethanol (4 ml) were dissolved (3S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanol (0.22 g) and pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (47 mg), which was stirred for two hours at 55° C. To the solution was further added pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (10 mg), which was stirred for further two hours at 55° C. The reaction mixture was cooled, then the solvent was distilled off. To the residue was added ethyl acetate (30 ml), which was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 ml). The ethyl acetate layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. To the residue was added ethyl ether, then precipitating crystals were collected by filtration to obtain (2S,3S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2,3-butanediol (60 mg). m.p. 115°-117° C.
