tert-Butanol → tert-butyl N-(chlorosulfonyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 5 L round bottom flask was charged with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate [Aldrich, product #142662] (149 mL, 1.72 mol) and dichloromethane (1.5 L) and cooled using an ice bath to 2° C. tert-Butanol (162 mL, 1.73 mol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) was added dropwise at a rate so that the temperature did not exceed 10° C. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 30-60 min to provide tert-butyl [chlorosulfonyl]carbamate.
