Water → 3,3,3-Trifluoroprop-1-yl toluene-4-sulphonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,3,3-trifluoro-propan-1-ol (1.1 g, 10.0 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) are added p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (2.3 g, 12.0 mmol), N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (0.1 g, 1.0 mmol) and triethyl amine (2.8 mL, 20.0 mmol). The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 3 d, then poured into water and extracted with DCM. The combined organic extracts are washed with 1N aqueous HCl solution, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, brine and dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford 2.34 g of title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 2.47 (3H, s), 2.47-2.6 (2H, m), 4.22 (2H, t, J=6.4 Hz), 7.36 (2H, d, J=8.08 Hz), 7.8 (2H, d, J=7.8 Hz)
