Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sulfur dioxide was passed through 30.2 g of a 50% solution of dibutylaminosulfenyl chloride (0.077 mole) in hexane until the solution had gained 2.8 g (0.044 mole). 2,3-Dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate (98%, 15.5 g, 0.069 mole) was added followed by dropwise addition of triethylamine (12.4 g, 0.123 mole) over a period of 28 minutes with stirring. Stirring was continued for about 18 hours. The mixture was cooled to 9.5° C., 31 ml of water and 40 ml of hexane were added, and the layers were separated. The organic layer was concentrated to yield 27.4 g of 94% (by hplc) 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl (dibutylaminothio)methylcarbamate (98% chemical yield).
