Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

30 g (107 mmol) of the sodium salt of 4-but-2-ynyloxybenzenesulfonic acid in 120 ml of dimethylformamide are added dropwise to a solution of 28 ml (321 mmol) of oxalyl chloride in 120 ml of dichloromethane, cooled beforehand to −10° C., and then the reaction medium is stirred at ambient temperature for 18 h. 800 ml of ice are added and the medium is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. 22 g (84%) of 4-but-2-ynyloxybenzenesulfonyl chloride are obtained in the form of a beige solid.
