Triethylamine → 2-[2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)morpholin-2-yl]ethanol methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

388 mg (0.83 mmole) of 2-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)morpholin-2-yl]ethanol [prepared as described in step (e) above] were dissolved in 5 ml of methylene chloride, and 126 mg (1.25 mmole) of triethylamine and 0.078 ml (1.01 mmole) of methanesulfonyl chloride were added to the resulting solution. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then diluted with methylene chloride, after which it was washed with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid and with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, in that order. The organic extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, using a gradient elution method, with mixtures of hexane and ethyl acetate ranging from 1:4 to 0:1 by volume as the eluent, to obtain 424 mg of the title compound.
