Triethylamine → 2-[(2-Methylpropan-2-yl)oxy]ethyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C. add triethylamine (35.4 mL, 254 mmol) to a stirring solution of 2-tert-butoxyethanol (10.0 g, 84.6 mmol) and methanesulfonic chloride (13.1 mL, 169 mmol) in dichloromethane (169 mL). Allow the reaction mixture to warm to room temperature overnight. Dilute the reaction mixture with dichloromethane (200 mL) and wash it with water (1×100 mL), 1.0 N HCl (1× 100 mL) and 1.0 N NaOH (1× 100 mL). Dry the organic layer over MgSO4, filter and concentrate to give the title compound: 1H NMR (CHCl3-d6) 4.33 (t, 2H), 3.62 (t, 2H), 3.06 (s, 3H), 1.21 (s, 9H) GC/MS, tR 13.7 min, % of total 92.9%.
