Hydrochloric Acid → Chlorosulfamic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stock of sulfamyl chloride was prepared by adding formic acid to chlorosulfonyl isocyanate. The sulfamyl chloride was added to a room temperature solution of 104 and triethyl amine in methylene chloride. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. TLC (30% ethyl acetate/hexanes) showed a major spot and a minor product. The reaction was poured into 10% HCl, extracted with methylene chloride, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to a thick yellow syrup. The crude syrup was adsorbed onto silica and purified by flash chromatography with 15-30% ethyl acetate/hexanes to obtain the final product 105 as a light yellow film.
