4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 1,1-dioxidotetrahydro-2H-thiopyran-4-yl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1-Dioxo-tetrahydrothiopyran-4-ol (1.0 g, 6.6 mmol), pyridine (10 mL), and tosyl chloride (1.6 g, 8.4 mmol) were combined and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted in EtOAc and washed with aqueous HCl and brine. The organic layer was dried, concentrated and triturated with hexane to yield O-tosyl-1,1-dioxo-tetrahydrothiopyran-4-ol (1.073 g, 53%) as a white solid.
