Reaction Steps

To the solution of 3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-2,2-dimethyl-propan-1-ol (20.4 g, 93 mmol) and triethylamine (26 g, 186 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) at 0° C. was added a dichlormethane solution (20 mL) of methanesulfonyl chloride (Aldrich) (8.69 mL, 112 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. Water was added. Organic layer was separated, the aqueous layer was extracted with dichlormethane. The combined organic layers were washed with diluted aqueous HCl solution, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give methanesulfonic acid 3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-2,2-dimethyl-propyl ester as a yellow oil (24 g, 87%).
