(4-hydroxy-4-methylpent-2-ynyl) methanesulfonate

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution of 4-methylpent-2-yne-1,4-diol (Synthesis 2001. 1013.) (1.00 g) in THF (40 mL) were added triethylamine (1.85 mL) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.69 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (1.57 g). the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate The extract was washed with water and saturated brine dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane)
