Water → 4-(2-(Tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)phenethyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (3.22 g, 31.82 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-(2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)phenethyl alcohol (4.00 g, 15.97 mmol) in methylene chloride (40 ml). The mixture was stirred under ice-cooling, and methanesulfonyl chloride (2.19 g, 19.11 mmol) was added dropwise to the mixture. After the addition, the resulting mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 10 minutes. Then, water (40 ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride and dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave the desired 4-(2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)phenethyl methanesulfonate (5.24 g, 99%).
