Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate is the chemical compound ClSO2NCO, known as CSI. This compound is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis.
Preparation, structure, handling
[edit]CSI is prepared by treating cyanogen chloride with sulfur trioxide, the product being distilled directly from the reaction mixture.[1]
- SO3 + ClCN → ClSO2NCO
In this transformation, both the carbon and the nitrogen termini of CN are functionalized.
The structure of CSI is represented as ClS(O)2-N=C=O. It consists of two electron-withdrawing components, the chlorosulfonyl group (SO2Cl) and the isocyanate group (-N=C=O). Because of its resulting electrophilicity, the use of CSI in chemical synthesis requires relatively inert solvents such as chlorocarbons, acetonitrile, and ethers.[2]
Uses
[edit]The molecule has two electrophilic sites, the carbon and the S(VI) center.[3]
CSI has been employed for the preparation of β-lactams,[4] some of which are medicinally important. Thus, alkenes undergo a [2+2]-cycloaddition to give the sulfonamide. The SO2Cl group can be removed simply by hydrolysis, leaving the secondary amide.[5] Other reactions of CSI:
- Cycloaddition to alkynes to give 1,2,3-oxathiazine-2,2-dioxide-6-chlorides.
- Conversion of primary alcohols to carbamates.[6]
- Conversion of carboxylic acids and the acid chlorides into nitriles.
- Preparation of N,N-disubstituted sulfamides, R2NSO2NH2
- Preparation of Burgess reagent
Safety considerations
[edit]CSI is toxic, corrosive and reacts violently with water.
