4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 2-Benzyloxy-5-[2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-benzyloxy-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzamide (519 mg) in dichloromethane (6 ml) were added triethylamine (290 μl), N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (24 mg) and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (400 mg) subsequently, and the mixture was stirred for 17 hours at room temperature. After concentration of the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, purification of the residue by flash column chromatography on silica gel (eluent:diethyl ether/dichloromethane=1/1) gave 2-benzyloxy-5-[2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]benzamide (627 mg).
