Participants

Reaction Steps

17.8 ml (127 mmol) of triethylamine and a solution of 22.8 g (127 mmol) of sulfur trioxide pyridine complex in 100 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide are added in succession to a solution of 14.5 g (42.5 mmol) of (1-hydroxymethyl-2,2-diphenyl-ethyl)-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester in 80 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide. After 45 minutes the reaction mixture is poured into ice-water and exhaustively extracted with ether. The combined organic phases are washed twice with 1M potassium hydrogen sulfate, twice with water and once with 1M sodium hydrogen carbonate, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation, yielding the title compound in the form of a yellow oil. TLC: methylene chloride/methanol (95:5) Rf=0.88.
