Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate → 2,6-Bis(1-methylethyl)-4-nitrophenyl sulfamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (7.2 mL, 82.6 mmol) was added slowly to a warm solution of 2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)-4-nitrophenol (17.57 g, 78.7 mmol) in 400 mL toluene. The resulting solution was heated to reflux for 6 hours and then cooled to room temperature and concentrated to give a brown oil. Quenched with 200 g ice and extracted with 4×500 mL dichloromethane. The organic solution was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give a tan solid. Recrystallization from dichloromethane gave 14.18 g (60%) of the title compound as an off-white solid; mp 163-167° C.
