Triethylamine → Methanesulfonic acid 3-benzyloxy-2,2-difluoropropyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-benzyloxy-2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol (Compound 59H, 202 mg, 1 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride in DCM (3 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and treated with Et3N (0.28 mL, 2 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm at RT. After 12 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (5 mL) and washed with aq. K2CO3 (4×5 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give 220 mg (82%) of the title compound as yellow oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.37-7.33 (m, 5H), 4.62 (s, 2H), 4.47 (t, J=12.4 Hz, 2H), 3.74 (t, J=12.4 Hz, 2H), 3.05 (s, 3H).
