Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Cyclohexylmethanol (1.25 mL, 10.0 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (50 mL), treated with diisopropylethylamine (7.0 mL, 40.0 mmol), cooled to 0° C., treated with methanesulfonyl chloride (0.85 mL, 11.0 mmol), and stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 (200 mL), washed with saturated bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to give 2.42 g (125% crude yield) of the desired product which was used immediately without purification.
