Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 58880523, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3 g (10 mmol) of [7-(4-nitrophenyl)-(5H,9H)-6,8-dioxabenzocyclohepten-2-yl]methanol in 50 ml of dichloromethane are introduced into a flask. 1.54 g (12 mmol) of diisopropylethylamine are added and 1.37 g (12 mmol) of mesyl chloride in solution in 10 ml of dichloromethane are added dropwise at −5° C. After 1 hour 30 minutes of reaction at −5° C., 20 ml of a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution are added, the phases are separated by decantation and the organic phase is washed with water. It is dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent is evaporated off. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography (heptane/ethyl acetate: 3/2) to give 0.6 g of methanesulfonic acid [7-(4-nitrophenyl)-(5H,9H)-6,8-dioxabenzocyclohepten-2-yl]methyl ester.
