Participants

Reaction Steps

A 0.5 g quantity of 2-cyclopropylethanol and 3.1 ml of triethylamine were dissolved in 10 ml of ethyl acetate, and 0.75 ml of methanesulfonyl chloride was added with ice-cooling and stirring. After stirring for 30 minutes, water was added to the reaction mixture and extraction was performed. The organic layer was washed with water twice and concentrated by removing the solvent under reduced pressure to give 1 g of pale yellow oily 2-cyclopropylethyl methanesulfonate.
