Reaction Steps

To a cold solution (ice-acetone bath) of 14.7 ml (0.166 mole) of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (98%; Aldrich) in 100 ml of acetonitrile was added dropwise a solution of 2.7 g (0.15 mole) of water in 5 ml of acetonitrile such that the reaction mixture temperature was maintained at ≤7° C. The mixture was stirred vigorously for 10 min, and to it was added a solution of 12.3 g (0.042 mole) of 3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol methyl sulfamate ester (Example 59) and 17.0 g (0.168 mol) of triethylamine in 100 ml of acetonitrile at such a rate that the temperature of the reaction mixture was maintained at ≤12° C. The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously for 3 hr at ambient temperature and treated with 100 ml of water and 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with 200 ml of water and evaporated under reduced pressure to yield a viscous residue. The residue was partitioned between 200 ml of water and 300 ml of ethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with three 200 ml portions of water (pH neutral to pH paper), dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to give 8.5 g (55%) of a viscous, oily residue which solidified upon standing. The solid was triturated with 75 ml of methylene chloride, and the precipitate was collected by filtration to yield 4.2 g (27%) of the title compound as a white solid, mp 110°-113° C.
