Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (444 mg, 3.5 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of DMSO (312 mg, 4 mmmol) in dichloromethane (30 ml) with cooling from a dry ice/acetone bath, followed after 10 min by a solution of 2-(1-benzenesulfonyl)cyclopropyloxyethanol (625 mg, 2.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 ml). The resulting thick suspension was stirred a further 15 min prior to adding triethylamine (505 mg, 5 mmol), removing the cooling bath and stirring a further 1 h. The solution was then washed sequentially with water (15 ml), 10% aqueous citric acid (15 ml), saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (15 ml), and brine (15 ml), before being dried (MgSO4), and evaporated to leave the product as a gum (585 mg), which was used without further purification.
