Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 8.86 mmol (5-fluoro-2-hydroxymethyl-4-iodo-phenyl)-methanol in 30 ml dichloromethane at 0° C. were added dropwise 22.2 mmol triethylamine and 19.5 mmol methanesulfonyl chloride. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, and then at room temperature for 5 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted four times with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a yellow oil (67% yield) which was used in the next step without further purification.
