D-1,4-Dithiothreitol → Dimethyl-sulfamic acid 5-tert-butyl-4-mercapto-2-methyl-phenyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and condenser were added 1.1 g (3.3 mmol) of dimethyl-sulfamic acid 5-tert-butyl-2-methyl-4-thiocyanato-phenyl ester (prepared in Example SSS), dithiothreitol (1.29 g, 8.35 mmol), EtOH (40 mL), and 0.02 M KH2PO4 buffer solution (5 mL), respectively. The reaction was refluxed overnight. The mixture was then quenched with H2O (250 mL) and extracted with a 1:1 mixture of hexanes:Et2O. The organic layer was again washed with H2O and brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was dried under high vacuum to yield the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.45 (s, 9 H), 2.25 (s, 3 H), 3.02 (s, 6 H), 3.57 (s, 1 H), 7.01 (s, 1 H), 7.28 (s, 1 H).
