Infobox references

Sulfonyl diisocyanate is an organic chemical compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulphur with the molecular formula C2N2O4S.[1][2][3]

Synthesis

Sulfonyl diisocyanate is obtainable directly from certain proportions of cyanogen bromide and sulfur trioxide:[4]

2BrCN + 3SO2 → SO2(NCO2)2 + Br2 + SO2

The compound can also be obtained by reacting chlorosulfonyl isocyanate with silver cyanide at 150 °C.[5]

Physical properties

The compound forms a volatile, colorless to pale yellow liquid that reacts violently with water to form carbon dioxide and sulfamide. The compound remains stable in sealed containers.[6]

Chemical properties

Sulfuryl diisocyanate reacts with dimethyl sulfoxide in acetonitrile to form sulfonyl bis (dimethylsulfilimine):[6]
