Procedure
Preparation of 1-diazo-1,2-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonate
Caution-chlorosulfonic acid is corrosive and reacts violently with water
Note- the entire procedure must be performed in subdued light to avoid
premature initiation of the Wolff-rearrangement
1. Into a foil covered flask containing 3.0g of sodium 1-diazo-1,2-
naphthoquinone-5-sulfonate, carefully add chlorosulfonic acid (15 ml) so
as to maintain the reaction temperature below 60C.
2. Heat the reaction mixture with gentle stirring for 15 min at 65-70C. The
temperature should not be allowed to go above 75C in order to avoid
thermal activation of the Wolff rearrangement.
3. Cool the flask in an ice bath. Add chilled deionized water (100 ml)
dropwise down the thermometer such that the reaction temperature does
not exceed 75C. Caution-the addition of water to chlorosulfonic acid is
violently exothermic and liberates large quantities of gaseous HCl and
concentrated H2SO4.
4. Collect the solid yellow precipitate and carefully dispose of the filtrate.
5. To the solid add 2-octanol (15 ml) and aqueous Na2CO3 (10%, 20 ml).
6. Gently stir the reaction mixture at room temperature for 90 minutes.
7. Chill the reaction mixture in an ice bath until a yellow solid forms (several
minutes.
8. Collect the solid, wash it with cold water, air dry and wash with petroleum
ether.
9. Dissolve a small amount in deuterated chloroform and obtain an H NMR.
Then irradiate the solution in the NMR tube in the photoreactor until
subsequent NMR spectra show formation of the indene-carboxylic acid.
