Water → 4-Nitrobenzenesulfonic Acid 2-(4-Nitrophenyl)ethyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-nitrobenzeneethanol (3.34 g, 20.0 mmol) and triethylenediamine (3.36 g, 30.0 mmol) in DCM (62.7 mL) at 0° C. was added 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (4.97 g, 22.43 mmol) in portions over a 5 min period. The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Water (50 mL) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 10 min. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude title compound (5.8 g, 82% yield) as a yellow solid.
