Procedure

Methanesulfonyl chloride (4.10 g, 35.8 mmol) was added to a suspension of ethyl 4-aminobutyrate hydrochloride (6.00 g, 35.8 mmol) and Et3N (10.8 mL, 77.4 mmol) in THF (230 mL). The resulting suspension was stirred at room temperature for 43 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. Flash chromatography (1:1 EtOAc:hexanes to EtOAc) afforded the title compound (7.08 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ4.51 (s, 1H), 4.12 (q, 2H), 3.18 (q, 2H), 2.94 (s, 3H), 2.40 (t, 2H), 1.85-1.92 (m, 2H), 1.24 (t, 3H); MS 210 (M++1).
