Reaction Steps

3-(3,5-Dimethyl-4-nitro-benzenesulfonyl)-propan-1-ol (1.4 g) is dissolved in 20 mL of acetonitrile, cesium carbonate (3.34 g) and iodometane (638 mL) are added and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. Water is added and the reaction mixture is extracted with ethyl ether. The organic phase is separated, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate 100:0→50.50) to give the title compound. Yield: 1 g.
