Triethylamine → 4-(2-Methanesulfonylethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane

Temperature

-5 °C

4-(2-Hydroxylethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (25 g, 170 mmol), triethylamine (55.9 mL, 400 mmol), and a stir bar were added to a 1000 mL round bottom flask. The flask was sealed and flushed with nitrogen. Anhydrous DCM (600 mL) was added, and the mixture cooled to approx −5° C. (ice and NaCl). Mesyl chloride (19.9 mL, 255 mmol, 1.5 eq) was added slowly via syringe over a 60 minute period, and the reaction stirred at −5° C. for a further 1.5 hours. At this point TLC showed that the starting material had been consumed. The solution was diluted with DCM (350 mL), divided into two (˜500 mL) portions, and each portion worked up as follows: the solution was transferred to a 1000-mL separating funnel and washed with saturated NaHCO3 (2×200 mL). The organic phase was then dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated (rotovap). The crude product was purified by column chromatography. Final yield: 32.0 g, 84.1%.
