Triethylamine → 4-(Tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)butyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)-1-butanol (1.20 g) in dry dichloromethane (30.3 ml), cooled to 0° C., was added triethylamine (2.43 ml) and methanesulphonyl chloride (0.77 ml) to give a yellow solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (25 ml). The organic layer was separated, dried by passing through a hydrophobic frit and concentrated in vacuo to afford a yellow oil (1.80 g). The product was purified by silica chromatography using a gradient elution of 0-40% ethyl acetate/cyclohexane to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (1.58 g).
