Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride (11.5 g) in acetonitrile was added to a suspension of N,N-dimethylurea (25.0 g) in acetonitrile (200 ml), over a period of 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 23° C., then filtered. Methanol (20 ml) was added to the filtrate to decompose excess chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride. The solvents were removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica using dichloromethane in hexane (3:1) to afford the product as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3) d 3.04 (6H, s, (CH3)2); MS (CI+) m/z 164 (M+ +NH4+)
