4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → Tetrahydrofuran-3-YL 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, (3R)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To (R)-tetrahydro-furan-3-ol (2.0 g, 22.7 mmol), triethylamine (3.8 mL, 27.3 mmol), DMAP (277 mg, 2.26 mmol), and silver oxide (5.26 g, 22.7 mmol) in dry DCM (30 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen, add portion wise with stirring p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (4.76 g, 25.0 mmol). Warm to ambient temperature overnight, filter from silver salts, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (7:1) to give the title compound as a clear liquid (4.7 g, 85%).
