Hydrochloric Acid → tert-Butyl ((diphenylphosphoryl)methyl)sulfonylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl methylsulfonylcarbamate (2 g, 10 mmol) in THF (25 mL) at −78° C. was added LDA (2 M in THF, 15.4 mL, 30.7 mmol). Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture stirred for 10 min and then diphenylphosphinic chloride (2.42 g, 10.2 mmol) was added drop wise to the reaction at −78° C. After 90 min, water (100 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (250 mL). The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 5 with 5% aqueous HCl. The white precipitate that formed was filtered and the solid dried in vacuo to give tert-butyl(diphenylphosphoryl)methylsulfonylcarbamate (2.9 g, 72% yield) as a white solid.
