Commun. , 28 : 1223 It was possible to carry out this preparation with a solution of POCl3 or oxalyl chloride in methylene chloride in place of neat POCl3. For example, preparation of TCFH using POCl3: To a stirred solution of N, N, N',N'-tetramethylurea (11.6 g, 0.1 mol) in 200 mL of dry methylene chloride, POCl3 (16.9 g, 0.11 mol) was added at 20-25°. After the reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 h and cooled to 20-25°, aqueous 60% HPF6 (15 mL) was added dropwise over a period of 5-10 min while maintaining the temperature at 0° due to the highly exothermic reaction. After complete addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min, 50 mL of water was added and the organic layer was collected and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the solution was concentrated in vacuo to approximately 1/3 the volume and anhydrous ether was added with vigorous stirring to promote precipitation of the salt as a white soild which was collected and dried under vacuum, yield 19.6 g (70%), mp. 93°, 1H NMR (CD3CN): δ 3.3 (s). The same reaction was also carried out with oxalyl chloride in place of POCl3, yield 20.9 g (75%). The same method involving POCl3 in dichloromethane was used for the preparation of BTCFH yield 69%, mp. 148-149°,7 1H NMR (CD3CN): δ 2.06 (m, 4, CH2), 3.88 (m, 4, CH2N)
