Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.98 g of phenol in 9 ml of toluene, a solution of 7.49 g of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate in 5 ml of toluene was added dropwise at an inner temperature of 45° C. or lower. After the completion of dropwise addition, the mixture was heated in an oil bath at 110° C. and continuously stirred for 12 hours. The reaction solution was ice-cooled and the insoluble matter was removed by filtration, and then the filtrate was heated in an oil bath at 40° C. While stirring vigorously, 1.2 ml of water was slowly added dropwise. The reaction solution was ice-cooled and the deposited crystal was collected by filtration, washed with toluene and then dried under reduced pressure to obtain 6.46 g of the desired compound as a colorless crystal having a melting point of 78 to 80° C.
