Triethylamine → HCID 19769932, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 10.2 g (46 mmol) of 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl) hexyl alcohol, were added 50 ml of dichloromethane and 7.7 ml (55 mmol) of triethylamine, and further added dropwise under cooling with ice 4.3 ml (55 mmol) of mesyl chloride. After stirring for one hour at room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. By evaporating off the solvent, 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)hexyl methanesulfonate was obtained in an almost quantitative yield.
