Triethylamine → Oxan-4-yl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanesulphonyl chloride (1.82 ml, 23.5 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 minutes to an ice-cold solution of tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ol (2.0 g, 19.6 mmol) and triethylamine (3.56 ml, 25.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml), and the reaction then stirred at room temperature for 72 hours. The reaction was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (10 ml), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give an orange oil, that solidified on standing, 3.1 g.
