Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Step A To a solution of 3-methanesulfonyl-propan-1-ol (Cambridge) (0.5 g, 3.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (0.5 g, 5 mmol), and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.3 mL, 4 mmol, Aldrich). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. The mixture was poured into water, extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give crude methanesulfonic acid 3-methanesulfonyl-propyl ester as a yellow oil (Yield 0.7 g, 90%).
