Reaction Steps

A 1-L round-bottomed flask was charged with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-(4-((2R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(2-thiophenylsulfonyl)-1-piperazinyl)phenyl)-2-propanol (42.7 g, 95 mmol), 200 mL of CH2Cl2, and triethylamine (15.18 mL, 109 mmol). After cooling to 0° C., methanesulfonyl chloride (7.75 g, 99 mmol) was added. After 5 min, another 1 equiv of triethylamine and methanesulfonyl chloride were added. The mixture was then diluted with water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organics were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (0 to 50% EtOAc in hexanes) gave ((2R)-4-(2-thiophenylsulfonyl)-1-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phenyl)-2-piperazinyl)methyl methanesulfonate (35.0 g) as a light-yellow brittle foam.
