Participants

Reaction Steps

To a refluxing solution of 8.6 g of 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzo[b]thiophenesulfonamide (Example 14), 4.0 ml of n-butylisocyanate and 0.1 g of DABCO in 100 ml of xylenes was added 3.0 ml of phosgene at such a rate that the reaction temperature did not drop below 135° C. The mixture was refluxed for 1.5 hours, then the excess phosgene was purged with a stream of dry nitrogen. The mixture was cooled, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound as an oil. The crude yield was assumed to be near quantitative. IR (neat) 2220 cm-1 (NCO).
