34. 3N afforded after a reaction period of 24 h (-)-menthyl tosylate 3d in 53% yield.
35. Treatment of a solution of DABCO (2 equivalents) with TosCl (1.5 equivalents) afforded a colorless precipitate which was stirred for 18 h at ambient temperatures. Hereafter 1 equivalent of (-)-menthol 2d was added and the slurry was allowed to stir for 14 h at r.t.. Workup of the reaction mixture afforded 72% of (-)-menthyl tosylate 3d.
36. The mixtures remained, however, thick slurries throughout the reaction periods because of the formation of hardly soluble DABCO·HCl during the course of the conversion of the alcohols 2.

56. Tosylation studies using primary alcohols (not shown in Table 1) indicate that these substrates are converted to the respective tosylates within 1-3 h. It is advantageous to work up these mixtures immediately rather than allowing an extension of the reaction period to 24 h.
