Abstract

Sulphonate esters, which have numerous applications in organic synthesis, have previously been prepared by the procedure of Tipson.¹ This method involves reacting a sulphonyl chloride with an alcohol in dry pyridine, but due to easy alkylation of the solvent, pyridine, by the product² it is unsuitable for the preparation of reactive sulphonate esters. Several investigators³ have modified the Tipson method and recently Crossland and Servis³ synthesised methanesulphonate esters in high yield from methanesulphonylchloride and an alcohol in the presence of triethylamine as base and dichloromethane as solvent.
