Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate is the chemical compound ClSO₂NCO, known as CSI. This compound is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis.

Preparation, structure, handling[]

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[]

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[]

CSI is toxic, corrosive and reacts violently with water. Like hydrofluoric acid, it cannot be stored in glassware, requiring instead polyethylene bottles.
