The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 2 h at room temperature while silica thin layer chromatography was performed (50% ethyl acetate in hexane; Rf=0.6) The reaction was quenched with water (30 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×70 mL). The organic part was dried and concentrated. The resulting crude product was purified by normal silica gel (100-200 mesh) column chromatography using 25% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent to get methanesulfonic acid 1-pyridin-2-yl-cyclopentylmethyl ester (433) (2.05 g, 79%) as a white solid.
