Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-(methoxy)propanol (6.0 g), pyridine (5.3 g) and diethyl ether (50 ml), a solution of chloromethyl chloroformate (8.6 g) in diethyl ether (10 ml) was added dropwise under ice cooling over the period of 15 minutes. After stirring at room temperature for 16 hours, water (100 ml) and ethyl acetate (100 ml) were added, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was washed with water (100 ml) and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution (50 ml), and after drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by subjecting to silica gel chromatography (silica gel 70 g, eluent: ethyl acetate-hexane=1:2) to obtain chloromethyl [3-(methoxy)propyl] carbonate (11.0 g) as a colorless liquid.
