Reaction Steps

Chlorosulfonylisocyanate (8.8 ml, 0.1 mole) was added to 200 ml toluene. Solid methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (15.2 g, 0.1 mole) was added to the stirred solution. The mixture was heated at reflux for 1.5 hr then cooled and treated with about 8 ml water and some tetrahydrofuran. Solvents were then removed by evaporation. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether. The insoluble solid was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated and then triturated in isopropyl ether. The solid was collected and weighed 8.6 g. Recrystallization from acetone-isopropyl ether gave a white solid which was dried under vacuum overnight at room temperature to 3.9 g, mp 116°-118° C.
