Procedure

Into a 250-mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of tert-butyl 3-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxyl)ethoxy)ethoxy)propanoate (10 g, 35.97 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in pyridine (40 mL). This was followed by the addition of toluenesulfonyl chloride (6.8 g, 35.79 mmol, 1.00 equiv), in portions at 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 4 h at 0° C. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in 30 mL of dichloromethane. The resulting mixture was washed with 3×20 mL of 3% hydrochloric acid (aq) and 20 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give 14 g (90%) of tert-butyl 3-(2-(2-(2-(tosyloxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)propanoate as yellow oil.
