Inversion of secondary alcohols by the SN2 reaction of a cesium carboxylate with a secondary sulfonate in DMF has been widely used in synthesis. 1, 2 Because removal of DMF can be difficult, alternate procedures using benzene or toluene as the solvent with 0.5 equiv of 18-crown-6 to solubilize potassium and cesium carboxylates have also been extensively used. 3 During our synthesis of dysiherbaine, 4 we found that that the SN2 reaction of CsOAc (5 equiv) with crude nitrobenzenesulfonate 1 proceeded cleanly in toluene at reflux for 12 h to give 75− 85% of 2 without the use of 18-crown-6.4 Surprisingly, no reaction occurred under the same conditions with pure 1. Since 1 was prepared from the alcohol with nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, Et3N, and DMAP in CH2Cl2, we suspected that residual DMAP present in crude 1 was necessary for the SN2 reaction with CsOAc in toluene at reflux. This was confirmed by heating a suspension of CsOAc (5 equiv) in a toluene solution of pure nosylate 1 (0.13 M) and DMAP (0.1 equiv) at reflux for 8 h to give 85% of acetate 2.
