Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-ethanol (16.8 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (60 mL) were added DIPEA (33.6 mmol) and mesylchloride (20.2 mmol.) The mixture was stirred for 18 hrs at RT, diluted with CH2Cl2, washed with sat. NaHCO3 (3×), brine (1×), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give 4.3 g (99%) of methanesulfonic acid 2-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-ethyl ester which was used in the next step without further purification.
