Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5.5 g of the product from Example 9 and 0.1 g of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in 100 ml dry xylenes was heated to 125°-130° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. At this temperature, 2.5 ml of phosgene was added dropwise at a rate that maintained the temperature above 120° C. After completion of the addition (ca. one hour), the solution was heated at 125° C. for another two hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered under nitrogen and concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 2-(methylsulfonyl)phenylmethanesulfonyl isocyanate as a yellow semisolid which was carried on to the next step without purification. The IR spectrum of this intermediate displayed a characteristic isocyanate absorption at 2240 cm-1.
