Sulfuryl chloride → N,N'-Bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)sulfuric diamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The starting N,N'di-t-octylsulfamide is prepared from commercially available t-octylamine and sulfuryl chloride using either the method of Stowell (J. C. Stowell, J. Org. Chem. 32, p.2360, 1967) or of Timberlake (J. W. Timberlake, J. Alender, A. W. Garner, M. L. Hodges, C. Ozmeral and S. Syilagyi, J. Org. Chem. 46, p.2082-2089, 1981). The reaction is preferably run in hexane and the product isolated as a hexane solution. The hexane solution of the sulfamide can be concentrated prior to oxidizing the sulfamide or it can be concentrated during the oxidation.
