Methanesulfonic chloride

It can be concluded that a high nucleofugacity of the leaving group cannot ensure an efficient nucleophilic displacement under PTC conditions if not paired with a high hydro-philicity that secures its removal from the organic phase where the reaction occurs. For this reason, methanesulfonates, chlorides, or bromides provide better results than those for 1 and TsO when used as starting materials in nucleophilic displacements under PTC conditions. 

Nearly all commercial acetylations are realized using acid catalysts. Catalytic acetylation of alcohols can be carried out using mineral acids, eg, perchloric acid [7601-90-3], phosphoric acid [7664-38-2], sulfuric acid [7664-93-9], benzenesulfonic acid [98-11-3], or methanesulfonic acid [75-75-2], as the catalyst. Certain acid-reacting ion-exchange resins may also be used, but these tend to decompose in hot acetic acid. Mordenite [12445-20-4], a decationized Y-zeohte, is a useful acetylation catalyst (28) and aluminum chloride [7446-70-0], catalyzes / -butanol [71-36-3] acetylation (29). 

Manufacture. Methanesulfonic acid is made commercially by oxidation of methyl mercaptan by chlorine in aqueous hydrochloric acid to give methanesulfonyl chloride which is then hydrolyzed to MSA. 

Zinc chloride is a Lewis acid catalyst that promotes cellulose esterification. However, because of the large quantities required, this type of catalyst would be uneconomical for commercial use. Other compounds such as titanium alkoxides, eg, tetrabutoxytitanium (80), sulfate salts containing cadmium, aluminum, and ammonium ions (81), sulfamic acid, and ammonium sulfate (82) have been reported as catalysts for cellulose acetate production. In general, they require reaction temperatures above 50°C for complete esterification. Relatively small amounts (<0.5%) of sulfuric acid combined with phosphoric acid (83), sulfonic acids, eg, methanesulfonic, or alkyl phosphites (84) have been reported as good acetylation catalysts, especially at reaction temperatures above 90°C. 

In laboratory preparations, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid have classically been used as esterification catalysts. However, formation of alkyl chlorides or dehydration, isomerization, or polymerization side reactions may result. Sulfonic acids, such as benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, or methanesulfonic acid, are widely used in plant operations because of their less corrosive nature. Phosphoric acid is sometimes employed, but it leads to rather slow reactions. Soluble or supported metal salts minimize side reactions but usually require higher temperatures than strong acids. 

In contrast to the behavior of homoallylic alcohol (70a) when treated with methanesulfonyl chloride is pyridine, heating A -19-methanesulfonate (68b) in pyridine gives the 5)5,19-cyclo-6-ene (72). Vinylcyclopropane (72) is inert to the conditions used for converting vinylcyclopropane (73) to the A ° -B-homo-7)5-ol (70a). The latter results are only consistent with the existence of two discrete isomeric carbonium ion intermediates which give rise to isomeric elimination products. °... 

A variety of media have been used for the Wallach fluorination reaction anhydrous hydrogen fluoride alone or with cosolvents such as methylene chloride, benzene, or tetrahydrofuran and hydrogen fluoride-pyridine alone or with co solvents such as benzene, glyme, or acetic acid [42,43, 46 50] Solutions of cesium fluoride, tetraethylammonium fluoride, or tetrabutylammonium fluoride in strong acids such as methanesulfonic acid or trifiuoroacetic acid with numerous cosolvents have also been studied [48, 49]... 

A solution of betamethasone 21-methanesulfonate (4 g) in dimethylformamide (25 ml) was treated with lithium chloride (4 g) and the mixture heated on the steam bath for 30 minutes. Dilution with water gave the crude product which was recrystallized to afford the title compound, MP 226°C.

Treatment of 51 with an excess of sodium benzoate in DMF resulted in substitution and elimination, to yield the cyclohexene derivative (228, 36%). The yield was low, but 228 was later shown to be a useful compound for synthesis of carba-oligosaccharides. <9-Deacylation of228 and successive benzylidenation and acetylation gave the alkene 229, which was oxidized with a peroxy acid to give a single epoxide (230) in 60% yield. Treatment of 230 with sodium azide and ammonium chloride in aqueous 2-methoxyeth-anol gave the azide (231,55%) as the major product this was converted into a hydroxyvalidamine derivative in the usual manner. On the other hand, an elimination reaction of the methanesulfonate of 231 with DBU in toluene gave the protected precursor (232, 87%) of 203. 

As mentioned several times Lewis acids are highly valuable catalysts but the most commonly used ones such as aluminium chloride and boron trifluoride are highly water sensitive and are not usually recovered at the end of a reaction, leading to a significant source of waste. In recent years there has been much research interest in lanthanide triflates (trifluoro-methanesulfonates) as water stable, recyclable Lewis acid catalysts. This unusual water stability opens up the possibility for either carrying out reactions in water or using water to extract and recover the catalyst from the reaction medium. 

A departure from the catechol pattern of the natural neurotransmitters was achieved following application of the fact that arylsulfonamido hydrogens are nearly as acidic as phenolic OH groups. Nitration of p-benzyloxyacetophenone gave 18 which was reduced to 19 with Raney nickel and hydrazine, and in turn reacted with mesyl chloride to give sulfonamide 20. Methanesulfonate 20 was then transformed to soterenol (21), a clinically useful bronchodilator, in the...

The third procedure illustrated by this preparation involves the reaotion of ketones with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in a solvent such as pentane, methylene chloride, or carbon tetrachloride and in the presence of a base such as pyridine, lutidine, or anhydrous sodium carbonate.7-11,15 This procedure, which presumably involves either acid-catalyzed or base-catalyzed enolization of the ketone followed by acylation of the enol with the acid anhydride, has also been used to prepare other vinyl sulfonate esters such as tosylates12 or methanesulfonates.13... 

A nucleophilic attack at an allene system of the type of 417 was described for the first time by Cainelli et al. [172], namely at 444 with the chloride ion as the nucleophile (Scheme 6.91). After the treatment of the mesylate 443 with triethylamine in the presence of lithium, sodium or tetrabutylammonium chloride, mixtures of the vinyl chlorides 445 and 447 were isolated in high yields. Since the reaction did not proceed in the absence of triethylamine, the first step should be a /3-elimination of methanesulfonic acid from 443 to generate 444, which would accept a chloride ion at the central allene carbon atom. A proton transfer to either allyl terminus of the anion thus formed (446) would lead to the products 445 and 447. 

Typically, the organic substrate in these reactions is a haloalkane. Primary haloalkanes will generally give 100% substitution products, but tertiary and cyclohexyl halides usually undergo 100 % elimination, with secondary haloalkanes producing a mixture of the two. Studies of the chloride and bromide displacements of (R)-2-octyl methanesulfonate have shown that phase transfer displacements proceed with almost complete inversion of stereochemistry at the carbon centre, indicating an Sjv2-like mechanistic pathway [41],...

FIGURE I 4 Analysis of several anions with 30 mM PDC buffer at pH 8.2. To improve resolution between bromide and chloride, the temperature was set at I5°C and a 110 cm capillary was used instead of a 60 cm capillary. For a symmetric fluoride peak, the capillary was rinsed with a 0.1 M methanesulfonate solution.
