Procedure
To a solution of triphosgene (1.15 g, 3.9 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was added dropwise a mixture of (5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)methanamine (1.14 g, 7.8 mmol) and DIPEA (2.0 g, 15.6 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (32 mL) over 2 hours at 0 C under N2 atmosphere. After addition was complete, the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and then cooled to ambient temperature. The mixture was washed with aq. KHSO4, brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to give 5-chlorothiophen-2-yl-methyl isocynate a yellow liquid (1.34 g, yield 100%), which was used in the next step without further purification.
