Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 250 ml. of dichloromethane, 25 g. 2-allylcyclohexanol and 16.7 g. of triethylamine cooled in an ice-salt bath to -10° C. is added dropwise, over 15 minutes, 18.9 g. of methanesulfonyl chloride. The mixture is cooled at -10° C. to -15° C. for 30 minutes and then washed with 300 ml. each of cold water, 10% hydrochloric acid, sodium carbonate solution and with saturated sodium chloride solution.
