A para-toluenesulfonyl chloride (16.0 g, 83.8 mmol) was added to the pyridine (250 ml) solution of (2-cyclopentyl)ethyl alcohol (8.76 g, 76.2 mmol) and then the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hrs. After the removement of pyridine, the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with 1N HCl, dried, filtered and separated by column chromatography to give a desirable product (15.7 g).
