4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 24805800, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (9.6 g, 50.35 mmol) was added at 0° C. to a mixture of (1-trifluoromethyl-cyclopropyl)-methanol (7 g, 49.96 mmol), triethylamine (7.7 mL, 55.24 mmol) and DMAP (0.61 g, 4.996 mmol) in 100 mL of DCM. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. to RT overnight before being washed with aqueous 1M HCl. The aqueous layer was back extracted twice with DCM. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and evaporated. The residue was purified by SiO2 flash chromatography (120 g SiO2, hexanes/[hexanes/Et2O 8/2] 100 to 0% hexanes) to give 7.26 g of toluene-4-sulfonic acid 1-trifluoromethyl-cyclopropylmethyl ester (49% yield).
