Methanesulfonyl chloride → 2-Morpholinoethyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A flask was charged with 2-morpholinoethanol (1.0 g, 7.1 mmol), DIEA (2.4 mL, 14 mmol) and dichloromethane (100 mL). Mesylchloride (0.64 mL, 8.3 mmol) was added in a dropwise fashion to the dichloromethane mixture and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. Concentration of the reaction mixture gave rise to a quantitative yield of 2-morpholinoethyl methanesulfonate, which was used in the next step without any without further purification. EI (MS); 210 (MH+).
