Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Formic acid (65 mL, 17.2 mmol) was added dropwise to neat chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (1.5 mL, 17.2 mmol) at 0° C. with rapid stirring. Vigorous gas evolution was observed during the addition process. The resulting viscous suspension was stirred for 5 min at 0° C. during which time the mixture solidified. Dichloromethane (9 mL) was added and the solution was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. then 8 h at 25° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of 3-methylpentan-1-ol (11.5 mmol) and pyridine (1.4 mL, 17.2 mmol) in 8 mL of dichloromethane was added dropwise. The contents were warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 3 h. The reaction mixture was treated with EtOAc (80 mL) and water (50 mL), and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×20 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and then concentrated. The crude product was purified by multiple flash chromatographies (7% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane) to give 3-methylpentyl sulfamate.
