Triethylamine → (Methylsulfonyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methanesulfonamide (1.0 g, 11 mmol), triethylamine (1.9 mL, 14 mmol), and DMAP (0.13 g, 1.1 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) cooled in an ice-water bath was added ethyl carbonochloridate (1.1 mL, 12 mmol) dropwise via a syringe under an argon atmosphere. The mixture was allowed to warm up to rt overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue obtained was dissolved in EtOAc (100 mL). The solution was washed with 1 N HCl (20 mL) and brine, and dried over MgSO4. The mixture was filtered and concentrated to give compound 12a as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 7.86 (br. s., 1H), 4.28 (q, J=7.25 Hz, 2H), 3.30 (s, 3H), 1.33 (t, J=7.25 Hz, 3H).
