Triethylamine → HCID 20269933, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

With a 4.82 g (18.3 mmols) portion of t-butyl 3-[4-(3-hydroxypropyl)phenyl]propionate were admixed 5.09 ml (36.6 mmols) of triethylamine, 2.84 ml (36.6 mmols) of methanesulfonyl chloride and 50 ml of methylene chloride. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours, concentrated and then diluted with benzene. The benzene layer was washed with saturated aqueous solution of NaCl, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated, giving 6.29 g (yield 100%) of t-butyl 3-[4-(3-mesyloxypropyl)phenyl]propionate in the form of an oil. This product was used for the subsequent reaction without purification.
