Triethylamine → (3R,4S)-4-[(Methylsulfonyl)oxy]tetrahydro-3-furanyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (12.0 ml) and methanesulfonyl chloride (3.6 ml) were successively added dropwise to a solution of 1,4-anhydroerythritol (5.0 g) in methylene chloride (50 ml) under ice cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes under ice cooling. The reaction mixture was diluted with methylene chloride and washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. After the resultant organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (9.2 g).
