Participants

Reaction Steps

Preparation according to Preparation 1 using 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (6 g, 30 mmol), (S)-glycidyltosylate (8.2 g, 36 mmol), K2CO3 (4.9 g, 36 mmol) and DMF (12 ml). Water (100 ml) was added and the solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with LiCl (5%, 100 ml), HCl (1 N, 100 ml), brine, were dried and concentrated to give the crude title compound (8.3 g). MS m/z (rel. intensity, 70 eV) 257 (M+, 38), 256 (M+, 39), 200 (bp), 199 (87), 57 (88).
