Abstract
N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-o-benzene disulfonimide was prepared from o-benzen edisulfonyl chloride and 4-methoxybenzylamin in dichloromethane. React ion of this compound with alcohols or phenols undere basic conditions gave the corresponding 4-methoxybenzyl ethers in good yields. Primary alkylamines were converted to the corresponding alcohols by treating t he benzenedisulfonimido derivative with aqueous KOH in DMF solution. ( C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
