Sodium Hydroxide → 3-{[2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl]sulfonyl}benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-sulfino-benzoic acid (1 g) and 2-iodoethyl tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl ether (1.4 g) in water (20 ml) and ethanol (20 ml) was added NaOH solution to give a pH of 9. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 3 hours before evaporation of the ethanol. The aqueous was acidified to pH3 and the product extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried with MgSO4 and solvent removed by evaporation to give the sub-title compound (0.25 g).
