Triethylamine → N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-4-(mesyloxy)butylamine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 4-hydroxybutylcarbamate (1.1 g, 4.9 mmol) and triethylamine (1.7 mL, 9.8 mmol) in THF was added methanesulfonyl chloride (0.67 g, 5.9 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at 20-25° C. for 6 hours and concentrated. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The phases were separated, and the organic layer was washed with hydrochloride solution (1 N), saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and saline. The separated organic layer was dried and concentrated to give 4-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)butyl methanesulfonate (1.2 g).
