Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.62 g (2 mmol) of 2[(5-hydroxypentyl)oxy]-5-acetylbenzenepropanoic acid methyl ester and 2 mL of triethylamine, in 6 mL of ethyl acetate was stirred with ice-bath cooling while 0.6 mL of methanesulfonyl chloride was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0°-5° C. for 1.33 hr and then poured into ice-3N HCl. Work-up with ethyl acetate in the usual manner gave 0.96 g of 2-[[5-(methylsulfonyl)oxy]pentyl]oxy]-5-acetylbenzenepropanoic acid methyl ester as an oil which was used without further purification.
