Reaction Steps

To alcohol 103 (1.98 g, 8.1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 mL) at room temperature was added triethylamine (2.4 g, 0.024 mol), DMAP (20 mg) and tosyl chloride (2.3 g, 0.012 mol). After 14 hours 1N HCl was added and the two layers separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ether and the combined organic phases dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Flash chromatography (95% hexane/EtOAc) gave tosylate 104 as an oil (2.94 g, 91%). 13C NMR (100 MHz; CDCl3) 171.60, 144.92, 133.07, 130.02, 128.12, 80.80, 72.15, 39.73, 38.09, 37.89, 32.67, 29.71, 28.22, 21.83, 20.10, 19.54, 14.49.
