Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphosgene (0.843 g, 2.84 mmoles) was dissolved in 20 mL of dichloromethane. 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-6-methylene-1,4-dithiepane (1.5 g, 8.52 mmoles) and triethyl amine (1.185 mL, 0.86 g) were dissolved in ca. 5 mL of dichloromethane and added dropwise to the triphosgene solution. After ca. one hour the reaction was largely complete. A little more triphosgene was added and the solution was stirred overnight. The reaction was worked up by evaporation of solvent, addition of water and extraction with ether, The extracts were dried and evaporated and the resulting oil was chromatographed on silica gel to give 1.1 g (67%) of clear oil.
