Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 53734384, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a solution wherein 0.5 g of (R)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-propionyloxy-1,2-propanediol obtained in Example 37 was dissolved in 5 ml of ethyl acetate was added dropwise 0.66 g of methanesulfonyl chloride at a temperature of 0° to 5° C., and thereto was added dropwise 0.46 g of pyridine at a temperature of 0° to 5° C. After dropping, the resulting liquid was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. To the reaction mixture was added 20 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid and an organic layer separated. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous solution with sodium hydrogencarbonate and with saturated aqueous solution with sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1) to give 0.53 g of oily (S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1-propionyloxy-3-methanesulfonyloxy-2-propanol. An optical purity thereof was determined in the same manner as in Example 35. (Elution time: 24.3 minutes ((R)-form) and 26.9 minutes ((S)-form)).
