Procedure: 3-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-4-(triphenylmethoxy)-1-butanol (14.0 g, 35.7 mmol) was dissolved in 140 mL of CH2Cl2, was cooled to 0° C. under N2, and triethylamine (10.8 g, 14.9 mL, 0.107 mol. 3.0 eq.) was added. Methanesulfonyl chloride (11.0 g, 7.46 mL, 96.4 mmol, 2.7 eq.) was then added dropwise at <5° C. The resultant reaction mixture was diluted with additional CH2Cl2 (300 mL) and was washed with 200 mL of water and 200 mL of an aqueous saturated solution of ammonium chloride. The aqueous layers were back-extracted with 50 mL of CH2Cl2 and the combined organic layer was washed with 100 mL of brine and was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo to give 18.4 g (94%) of 3-(2-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]ethoxy]-4-triphenylmethoxy)-1-butanol methane sulfonate as a white solid. The resultant reaction mixture was washed with 200 mL of water and 200 mL of an aqueous saturated solution of ammonium chloride The aqueous layers were back-extracted with 50 mL of CH2Cl2 the combined organic layer was washed with 100 mL of brine was dried (MgSO4) evaporated in vacuo

Procedure: An esterification reaction mixture (94 g), consisting of butanol (ca., 4.9% w/w), butyl stearate (95.1% w/w), residual stearic acid (trace), residual methanesulfonic acid catalyst (1383 ppm) and undesired butyl methanesulfonate (613 ppm) was treated with 45% aqueous KOH (229 mg, 1.84 mmol as compared to 1.74 mmol MSA originally charged to the reaction). The resulting mixture was heating at 50° C. for 40 minutes. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory or explanation, it is believed that reaction of butyl stearate with KOH produced potassium stearate, which retains significant solubility in the butyl stearate medium. The formed potassium stearate then reacted with butyl methanesulfonate to produce potassium methanesulfonate and butyl stearate. After filtration of the by-product solid salts (0.6325 g), analysis of the mixture by gas chromatography revealed only 300 ppm unreacted butyl methanesulfonate, a 51% reduction.
