Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-(3-hydroxypropyl)-3-benzyloxybenzoate (10.19 g, 32.5 mmol), and triethyl amine (4.05 g, 40 mmol) in methylene chloride (100 ml) was cooled in an ice bath as methane sulfonyl chloride (2.79 ml, 36 mmol) was slowly added. The ice bath was removed and the reaction allowed to warm to room temperature over a 1 hr period. the mixture was diluted with water, and the methylene chloride layer was separated. The methylene chloride layer was washed with water twice, 1N HCl twice, and then filtered through a pad of silica gel to give a clear solution. This solution was concentrated in vacuo to give a clear oil (12.4 g, 98%).
