Methanesulfonyl chloride → (R)-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol (600 mg, 5.87 mmol), DCM (35 ml), TEA (0.983 ml, 7.05 mmol) was diluted with methanesulfonyl chloride (0.467 ml, 5.99 mmol), via a dropwise addition. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 5 hours and the reaction progress was followed by LCMS. The crude reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (1×), water (2×), filtered and concentrated to a constant mass, giving 980 mg of the title compound, which was used without further purification. LCMS (m/z): 181.0 (MH+), retention time=0.40 min
