Chlorosulfonic acid → 4-[2-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-benzenesulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

950 mg 2-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-4-phenoxymethyl-oxazole were dissolved in 9 ml dichloromethane. At −20° C. 0.90 ml chlorosulfonic acid were added dropwise. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for two hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., then 20 ml ice water were added and the reaction mixture extracted five times with portions of 50 ml dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with water and then dried over MgSO4. The solvent was then removed in vacuo to obtain 580 mg 4-[2-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-oxazol-4-ylmethoxy]-benzenesulfonyl chloride.
