Abstract

A one-pot approach to the formation of N-substituted sulfamates from carboxylic acids using di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, tetrabutylammonium sulfamate, and pyridine under mild conditions is described. A reaction mechanism with two competing pathways is proposed; in reactions with aliphatic and electron-deficient aromatic acid substrates, the desired sulfamate products are formed, in contrast, symmetrical anhydride intermediates are observed with electron-neutral or electron-rich aromatic substrates.

Key words

sulfamates - carboxylic acid - tetrabutylammonium sulfamate - carbonate - anhydride
