Synthesis and reaction of N-methyl-N-tosylpyrrolidinium perchlorate, a selective tosylating reagent
Abstract
Reaction of N-methylpyrrolidine and tosyl chloride in the presence of AgClO4 afforded N-methyl-N-tosylpyrrolidinium perchlorate (II) as a stable, crystalline salt, which can be used for the selective tosylation of an amino-group in the presence of a hydroxy-group.
