Ethylene Glycol → HCID 20368970, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 75% dispersion of sodium hydride (8.45 g.; 0.20 mol.) is added to a solution of ethylene glycol (3.1 g.; 0.05 mol.) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (100 ml.). The resulting suspension is stirred at room temperature for two hours and then cooled to +4° C. Sulfamoyl chloride (20.79 g.; 0.18 mol.) is dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (400 ml.) and added dropwise to the solution with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred at +4° C for an additional 24 hours. A precipitate forms which is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated. The residue is partitioned between heptane and methanol, and the methanol solution is concentrated to a syrup which crystallizes from ethyl acetate to yield 6.1 g. (58%) of 1,2-bis-O-sulfamyl-1,2-ethanediol, m.p. 96.5°-99° C. When in the above procedure 1,5-pentanediol is employed in place of ethylene glycol, 1,5-bis-O-sulfamyl-1,5-pentanediol is obtained.
