The reaction of 2-bromothiophene (I) with the monosodium salt of ethylene glycol (II) in the same solvent gives 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)thiophene (III), which is condensed with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (IV) by means of p-toluenesulfonic acid in THF yielding the corresponding tetrahydropyranyl ether (V). The reaction of (V) with N-(benzenesulfonyl)aziridine (VI) by means of BuLi in THF - hexane affords N-[2-[5-(2-hydroxyethoxy)thien-2-yl]ethyl]benzenesulfonamide (VII), which is finally oxidized with silver oxide in aqueous NaOH.
