Triphenylsulfonium chloride → HCID 86638824, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL reactor was charged with 3.0 g (purity 26%, 2.9 millimoles) of sodium 2-valeryloxy-1,1-difluoroethanesulfonate and 30 g of water, followed by adding dropwise an aqueous solution of triphenylsulfonium chloride [17.8 g (5.2 millimoles/1.8 equivalents) of triphenylsulfonium chloride and 16.2 g of water] at room temperature, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1.5 hours. Then, extraction was conducted by adding 30 mL of chloroform. The obtained organic layer was washed two times with water, followed by distilling solvent off, thereby obtaining 0.96 g of the target triphenylsulfonium 2-valeryloxy-1,1-difluoroethanesulfonate. Upon this, purity was 98%, and yield was 64%.
