Tetrahydrofuran → 1-ethyl 2-tert-butyl 6-(((methylsulfonyl)oxy)methyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-1,2(1H)-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-ethyl 2-tert-butyl 6-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-1,2(1H)-dicarboxylate (390 mg, 1.16 mmol), methanesulfonyl chloride (0.135 mL, 1.74 mmol) and THF (10 mL) was added TEA (0.243 mL, 1.74 mmol) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1-ethyl 2-tert-butyl 6-(((methylsulfonyl)oxy)methyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-1,2(1H)-dicarboxylate (500 mg, 1.209 mmol, 104%) as a colorless oil.
