Triethylamine → Benzyl 3-(mesyloxy)cyclobutanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 3-hydroxycyclobutanecarboxylate (Intermediate 32; 0.90 g; 4.4 mmol), Et3N (1.20 mL; 8.6 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) was added MsCl (0.40 mL; 5.2 mmol) under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour, quenched with water (20 mL), and extracted with DCM (50 mL×2). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford 1.24 g (100%) of the title compound as a yellow oil, which was used directly without further purification.
