The improved method for the efficient tosylation of alcohols has been reported using two procedures (A and B). Procedure A: methanol, ethanol, benzyl alcohols, and valuable ethylene glycols can be converted into their corresponding alkyl tosylates in very fast, simple, and efficient grinding method using potassium carbonate as solid base. Other primary and secondary alcohols need to add potassium hydroxide to reaction mixture ( ...
