Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (50 g, 436 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-bromo-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethan-1-one (85 g, 395 mmol) and triethylamine (48 g, 474 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1000 ml) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was washed with diisopropyl ether to afford 4-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl methanesulfonate (96 g, 83%) as white crystals.
