4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → [7-(Methylsulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl]methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of [7-(methylsulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl]methanol (0.9 g, 3.7 mmol), p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (1.0 g, 5.5 mmol), TEA (0.76 ml, 5.5 mmol) and 4-DMAP (0.4 g, 3.7 mmol) in DCM (20 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h and 30 min. The solution was diluted with DCM and washed with HCl (1 N), water and brine. The organic phase was dried and concentrated to give the title compound (1.1 g). MS m/z (rel. intensity, 70 eV) 398 (M+, 51), 226 (bp), 225 (23), 213 (30), 91 (62).
