Phosgene → Thiomorpholine-4-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10 g (97 mmol) of thiomorpholine in 200 ml of toluene is added dropwise at 0° to a solution of 85 ml (165 mmol) of 20% phosgene in toluene and the white suspension is stirred for 1 h at RT. Excess phosgene is driven off by introducing nitrogen, the suspension is filtered, and the filtrate is concentrated by evaporation. The title compound is obtained in the form of a yellow oil. IR (CH2Cl2, cm-1): 1735, 1450, 1440, 1405, 1370, 1290, 1180.
