Triethylamine → (1-Cyanocyclopropyl)methyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

At r.t. to a solution of 1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropanecarbonitrile (0.41 g, 4.2 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) was added methanesulfonyl chloride (490 uL, 6.3 mmol), followed by triethylamine (1.5 mL, 10.0 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (18 mg, 0.15 mmol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 h. It was diluted with methylene chloride, washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4. After filtration the filtrate was concentrated to yield the crude product which was used in the next step reaction without further purification.
