Methanesulfonyl chloride → Oxan-4-yl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ol (2.5 g, 24.5 mmol) in DCM (40 mL) was added DIEA (6.40 mL, 36.7 mmol) at 0° C. and allowed to stir under nitrogen for 10 minutes. Methane sulfonyl chloride (2.18 mL, 28.1 mmol) was added slowly. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour at 0° C. The reaction was partitioned between 100 mL of DCM and 50 mL of 0.5 M hydrochloric acid. The layers were separated and the organic layer was then washed sequentially with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate, and brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure and dried on high vacuum to afford tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl methanesulfonate (4.4 g, 24.4 mmol, 99.7% yield).
