Dichloromethane → tert-Butyl 3-(((methylsulfonyl)oxy)methyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into the reaction flask was added tert-butyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (0.80 g, 4.0 mmol), methylene chloride (20 mL), and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.55 g, 4.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. when triethylamine (1.4 mL) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h, followed by the addition of water (5 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted twice with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the desired product (0.85 g crude) which was used without further purification.
