Notes:
-An exploratory study has been made on the reaction of a number of non-branched alkenes in [D]chloroform as an aprotic solvent, using chlorosulfuric acid as reagent both in the presence and the absence of [D8]1,4-dioxane as complexing agent. Reaction of cyclopentene (1a) with 1.1 mol-equiv. of chlorosulfuric acid in [D]chloroform in the presence of 2.2 mol-equiv. of [D8]1,4-dioxane at 0 °C yielded quantitatively 1,2-cyclopentanesultone (2a). Under similar reaction conditions, the linear alkenes 1b-g afforded the corresponding β-sultones 2b-g. The ClSO3H-dioxane complex acted as a sulfonating reagent with the alkenes to yield the corresponding β-sultones in a syn cycloaddition of SO3 to the Carbon-Carbon double bond. In the absence of [D8]1,4-dioxane the reaction of the linear alkenes 1a-1k in [D]chloroform with chlorosulfuric acid at -40 °C led to the formation of the sec-alkyl chlorosulfates 5a-i, which were formed after initial protonation of the alkene by the strongly acidic ClSO3H. Cyclopentyl chlorosulfate (5a) in [D]chloroform at 0 °C was quantitatively converted into 1,2-cyclopentanesultone (2a). The sec-alkyl chlorosulfates 5b-i at 0 °C gave rise to a mixture of the internal trans- and cis-β-sultones 2b-m. Reaction of 1-octene (1g) with both acetyl sulfate (6a) and trifluoroacetyl sulfate (6b) as reagent in [D]chloroform at -20 °C directly afforded the products 1,2-octanesultone (2g), and the (E) and (Z) isomer of 2-octene-1-sulfonic acid (4g).
