Ethylene Glycol → HCID 20368981, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 57% oil 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 2 hours and then cooled to +4° C. N,N-dimethylsulfamoyl chloride, 25.8 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 1,2-bis-O-(N,N-dimethylsulfamyl)-1,2-ethanediol.
