2.6 -C5 HjN { CMe(CH2OTs)2} 2 (2)
This compound was prepared as described previously
[1], Careful adjustment of the temperature during the
addition of toluene-4-sulfonyl chloride gave improved
yields of up to 68 % [5]. A pure sample of 2 was ob-
tained by recrystallization from ethanol.

Crude tetraol 1 (5.9 g, < 23 mmol), 4-nitrobenzalde-
hyde (6.9 g, 46 mmol), and 4-toluenesulfonic acid hydrate
(10.5 g, 55 mmol) were mixed with benzene (160 ml), and
the mixture refluxed for 4 h while water was azeotropi-
cally removed with a Dean-Stark trap. While still warm,
the resulting two-phase mixture was poured into a so-
lution of K2C 03 (15 g, 109 mmol) in water (200 ml)
with vigorous stirring. The phases were separated, the
organic phase washed with water (2 x 50 ml), and the
aqueous phase extracted with chloroform (2 x 40 ml).
The combined organic phases were dried over MgS0 4 ,
filtered, and taken to dryness to leave a dark brown oil (3
This compound was prepared in pure form from pure
tetraazide 3 by reduction with triphenylphosphine in 85 -
90 % yield [1]. 4 was obtained as a light yellow viscous
