p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 22593753, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(carboethoxymethylthio)-3-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)thiophene (from step b) in acetone (200 mL) was added p-toluenesulfonic acid (761 mg, 4.0 mmole) at RT. After 18 hr the mixture was concentrated. The residue was taken up in Et2O, washed with saturated NaHCO3, H2O (2×), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as an oil which was sufficiently pure for use in the next step.
