Water → 4-Propylbenzyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-propylphenyl)methanol (116 mg, 0.770 mmol) in THF (5 mL) were added triethylamine (0.220 mL, 1.54 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (89.0 mL, 1.16 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (176 mg, quantitative). This was used for the next step without purification.
