In a one liter three-neck flask was mixed 100 g (0.69 moles) of 2,6-dimethyl-4-heptanol and 580 g chloroform. Triethylamine (77.1 g; 6 moles) was added and the reaction mixture cooled to 0° C. Methanesulfonyl chloride (83.4 g; 0.73 moles) was added dropwise, keeping the reaction temperature about 0° C. After holding at about 0° C. for one hour, gas chromatograph (GC) showed less than 5% residual alcohol.
