Synthesis of sulphonyldiacetyl chloride, SO2(CH2·COCL)2
Abstract
Sulphonydiacetyl chloride (m.p. 69–70°) has been prepared in ca. 90% yield by chlorination of sulphonyldiacetic acid with phosphorus pentachloride in ethyl acetate at 70°. The preparation of the corresponding NNN′N′-tetraethyl and -tetraisopropyl amides has demonstrated the use of the chloride for preparing new derivatives of the parent acid.
