Reaction Steps

Into methylene chloride (20 ml) were added (R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-(1-methoxy-1-methylethyloxy)ethanol obtained in 3) above (5.0 g) and triethylamine (3.9 g) and further, under ice-cooling and dropwise, methanesulfonyl chloride (2.46 g), and the resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was washed with water, and the organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The desiccant was filtered off and the solvent was distilled off to obtain a colorless oily compound mentioned above (6.33 g, 96.0%). The optical purity of the product obtained was 99.9% e.e.
