Reaction Steps

A 7 g quantity of methyl p-toluenesulfonate was added to 2.58 g of 2-{2-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)phenoxy}ethyl methyl sulfide and 5 ml of methylene chloride and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Ether was added to the reaction mixture. The oily product precipitated was separated and purified with ethanol-ether, affording 4.01 g of 2-{2-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)phenoxy}ethyldimethylsulfonium p-toluenesulfonate in 90.1% yield.
