Reaction Steps

A solution of t-butyl-tris(hydroxymethyl)acetate (9.9 g, 0.048 mol) in 50 mL of pyridine is cooled to 0° C. and then portions of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (30.1 g, 0.158 mol) are added over 1 hr. The mixture is kept at 0° C. for 15 hrs. Then dichloromethane (200 mL) is added and the solution is washed four times with 100 mL of 10% hydrochloric acid, once with 100 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate and once with 100 mL of saturated sodium chloride. The organic layer is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give t-butyl-tris(tosylmethyl)acetate.
