Triethylamine → 1-(Pyridin-2-yl)ethyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-pyridin-2-yl-ethanol (156 mg, 1.27 mmol) (Mandal, S. K. et al. J. Org. Chem. 2003, 68, 4600-4603) and Et3N (0.27 mL, 1.94 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added methanesulphonyl chloride (0.11 mL, 1.29 mmol) and the solution was stirred for 70 minutes. The solution was diluted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (2×15 mL) and brine (1×15 mL). The combined aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (1×15 mL). The combined organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude methanesulphonic acid 1-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl ester as a yellow oil (269 mg, 100%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.77 (d, 3H, J=6.6 Hz), 2.94 (s, 3H), 5.79 (q, 1H, J=6.6 Hz), 7.28 (ddd, 1H, J=7.4, 7.1, 1.3 Hz), 7.47 (d, 1H, J=7.9 Hz), 7.76 (td, 1H, J=7.6, 1.7 Hz), 8.61 (d, 1H, J=4.9 Hz).
