Reaction Steps

Step G To a solution of 2-((S)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)-ethanol (2.7 g, 15.8 mol) and triethylamine (4.6 g, 45 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) at 0° C. was added methanesulfonyl chloride (2.7 g, 24 mmol) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 h, then water was added. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, concentrated to give methanesulfonic acid 2-((S)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)-ethyl ester as a yellow oil (2.5 g, 62%).
