Triethylamine → 3,3-Dimethylbutyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (2 ml) in dichloromethane (48 ml), under nitrogen, was added triethylamine (4.64 ml) and the resulting solution cooled to 0/C. Methanesulphonylchloride (1.28 ml) was then added dropwise via syringe and stirring continued for 18 h as the reaction warmed to room temperature. The reaction was then concentrated onto silica and purified by flash chromatography to give the title compound as a yellow oil.
