Reaction Steps

In an ice bath, 6.1 ml of triethylamine and 2.3 ml of methanesulfonyl chloride were added to a chloroform (15 ml) solution of 2.59 g of methyl 2-(acetyloxy)-4-hydroxybutanoate, and stirred for 30 minutes. Saturated saline water was added to the reaction liquid, extracted with chloroform, and the organic layer was dried. The solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure to obtain 2.54 g of methyl 2-(acetyloxy)-4-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]butanoate as a brown liquid.
