Participants

Reaction Steps

A 6 g quantity of methyl p-toluenesulfonate was added to 2.72 g of 2-{4-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxypropoxy)phenoxy}ethyl methyl sulfide. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. Ether was added to the reaction mixture and the insoluble solid was separated and recrystallized from ethanol-ether, giving 4.15 g of 2-{4-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxypropoxy)phenoxy}ethyldimethylsulfonium p-toluenesulfonate in 90.4% yield, M.P. 88° to 91° C.
