    Abstract: In the present invention, a hydroxyl group substitution product is manufactured by reaction of an alcohol with sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) in the presence of an organic base and a nucleophile (X?). The present invention is thus effective as an industrial manufacturing method that uses a relatively cheap reagent suitable for large-scale applications and can be accomplished in a simple process with easy purification operation and less waste generation and is suitably applicable for manufacturing of optically active hydroxyl group substitution products, notably optically active ?-hydroxyl group substitution ester and optically active 4-hydroxyl group substitution proline. The manufacturing method of the present invention solves all of the prior art problems and can be applied for industrial uses.

  • Publication number: 20110021809
    Abstract: Disclosed is a purification method of reducing and removing fluoride ions contained in an optically active ?-fluorocarboxylic acid ester represented by formula [1] [in the formula, R1 represents a C1-6 alkyl group, R2 represents a C1-4 alkyl group, and * represents an asymmetric carbon], the purification method of the optically active ?-fluorocarboxylic acid ester being characterized by that a distillation is conducted in the presence of an organic base. By this method, it is possible to greatly reduce the concentration of fluoride ion traces contained in the optically active ?-fluorocarboxylic acid ester by a relatively easy operation. Of the organic base, a tertiary amine is preferable, and above all tri-n-butylamine is particularly preferable.
