Reaktionsschritte

25.0 g (200 mmol) 2-amino-m-cresol and 70.4 mL (400 mmol) DIPEA were placed in 1.0 L DCM and cooled to 0° C. To this a solution of 38.0 g (227 mmol) CDI was added dropwise over 30 min. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0° C., then stirred overnight at RT. After evaporation of the reaction mixture i. vac. down to half the volume, the aqueous phase was washed with water (2×250 mL), 1M aqueous potassium hydrogen sulphate solution (1×250 mL) and again water (1×250 mL). The organic phase was evaporated down i. vac. The crude product left as a solid was triturated with a mixture of diethyl ether and PE, the precipitated solid was suction filtered, washed with PE and dried i. vac.
