Triethylamine → 1-Fluoro-2-fluoromethyl-3-butyn-2-yl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

An amount (1.2 g) of 1-fluoro-2-fluoromethyl-3-butyn-2-ol and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.85 ml) were dissolved in tert-butyl methyl ether (15 ml); to the solution under cooling with ice, triethylamine (1.5 ml) was added dropwise in a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring for 1.5 hours under cooling with ice, tert-butyl methyl ether was added to the reaction mixture, which was then washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The mixture was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound (1.9 g).
