methyl sulfamate

Conditions: temp:50.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a 50 mL flask containing sodium 1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-ylsulfamate (Intermediate A, 96 mg, 0.472 mmol) and 10 mL of DCM was added PCl5 (Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., 245 mg, 1.179 mmol). The resulting slurry was heated at 50° C. for 1.5 hours. LCMS showed conversion to the methyl sulfamate (following quench into methanol). The reaction was cooled to rt and was quenched with the addition of 5 drops of brine. The resulting slurry was stirred vigorously for 5 minutes before being filtered through a plug of diatomaceous earth, washing well with DCM. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The derived oil was taken up in 1 mL of DCM and was added to a solution of 5-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride (ASW Medchem, 50 mg, 0.236 mmol) and TEA (164 μl, 1.179 mmol) in 2 mL of DCM at 0° C. Another 0.164 mL of TEA was added and the reaction allowed to warm to room temperature where it was maintained for 2 hours. LCMS showed clean conversion to sulfonamide. The reaction was allowed to stir overnight before being diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate (10 mL) and poured into a separatory funnel containing methylenechloride (10 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with methylenechloride (2×25 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under a vacuum to provide a yellow oil that was purified by silica gel chromatography (Redi-Sep pre-packed silica gel column (12 g), 0-10% methanol in methylenechloride) to provide 5-bromo-N-(1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-sulfonamide as an off white solid.
