4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 20337460, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tosyl chloride (11.1 g., 58.1 mM) is added to a solution of 3-(2,5-dibenzyloxyphenyl)-1-butanol (20.7 g., 57 mM) in pyridine (90 ml.) at -45° C. The reaction mixture is held at -35° C. for 18 hours and is then diluted with cold 2 N hydrochloric acid (1500 ml.) and extracted with ether (5×250 ml.). The combined extracts are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (4×250 ml.) and then dried (Na2SO4). Concentration of the dried extract affords the product which may be purified by standard methods, if desired.
