Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution was prepared containing 2 grams of the 2,6-dinitrobenzyl alcohol and 2.37 grams of tosyl chloride in 15 ml of dry acetone (20 degrees Centigrade). A solution of dicyclohexyl amine (2.25 ml in 5 ml of dry acetone) was added dropwise to the 2,6-dinitrobenzyl alcohol mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then treated as described above for the preparation of 2,6-dinitrobenzyl alcohol. After recrystallization, 2.3 grams of 2,6-dinitrobenzyl tosylate was obtained.
