Participants

Reaction Steps

To tetrahydro-3-furanylmethanol, Isomer 1 (1.3 g) in dry dichloromethane (40 ml) at 0° C. and under nitrogen, was added triethylamine (4.09 ml) followed by methanesulfonyl chloride (1.29 ml). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The orange solution was diluted with dichloromethane (80 ml) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (40 ml). The organic layer was separated, dried through a hydrophobic frit and concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a yellow oil (2.2 g).
