(Carboxysulfamoyl) triethylammonium hydroxide, inner salt, methyl ester was synthesized and shown to react with a broad spectrum of alcohols resulting in alkyl A-carbomethoxysulfamate esters. The scope and synthetic usefulness of the sulfamate ester function as a leaving group in thermolytic dehydration reactions was demon-strated by the facile conversionof tertiary and secondary alcohols to olefins and primary alcohols to urethanes. Stereochemicallv the reaction was established as a cis-stereospecific elimination by theformation of onlyprotioirans-stilbene from iZireo-2-deuterio-l, 2-diphenylethyk/V-carbomethoxysulfam. ate triethylammonium salt and only-deuterio-írans-stilbene from the corresponding erythro compound. The first-order rate constants for the diphenylethanol system were determined spectrophotometrically (fe5= 2.66 X 10~ 6) and a small/3-deuterium isotope effect was observed AhAd= 1.05 for erythro and 1.08 for threo compound). Activation parameters were calculated for the thermolysis with values= 22.4 keal/mol,*= 21.7 keal/mol, AG*= 22.8 keal/mol, AS*=—3.3 eu. These kinetic and stereochemical results are consistent with an initial rate-limiting formation of an ion pair followed by a fast cis ß proton transfer to the departing anion at a rate greater than the interconver-sion of erythro-and threo ion pairs.The dehydration of alcohols via a first-order thermo-lytic Ei decomposition of a derived ester has been a valuable method in the portfolio of practiced synthetic organic reactions. When compared to solvolytic elimination, the cis-ß hydrogen geometrical constraint and the absence of a-carbon carboniumion character (and thus skeletal rearrangements) in the transition state of such eliminations provide a predictable and therefore strategically useful step in a directed synthetic sequence. A variant of the Ei mechanism timing exists
