Triethylamine → 4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-(methanesulphonyloxy)pent-1-ene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methanesulphonyl chloride (2.3 g) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was added to an ice-cooled solution of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-hydroxypent-1-ene (4.3 g) (see Preparation 22) and triethylamine (2.5 g) in dichloromethane (50 ml) over 10 minutes. The mixture was stirred for a offer 30 minutes before being washed sequentially with water (3×25 ml) and brine (25 ml), then dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-(methanesulphonyloxy)pent-1-ene (5.4 g) as an oil.
