Triethylamine → 1-Ethyl-heptyl Methanesulphonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 g (138.6 mmol) of 3-nonanol and 15.43 g of triethylamine are dissolved in 150 ml of dichloromethane and admixed dropwise with 17.47 g (152.5 mmol) of mesyl chloride. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The organic phase is extracted twice with water and dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. This gives 30.7 g (95%) of a yellow liquid.
