Procedure
280.32 Grams (3.84 moles) of butylamine and 300 ml of dichloromethane were charged to a round bottom flask equipped with stirrer, cold bath, thermometer, addition funnel and reflux condenser. 229.8 Grams (4.03 Moles, a 5% excess) of methyl isocyanate were charged to the addition funnel and added to the flask contents over four hours keeping the contents between 0° and 35° C. After an additional hour of stirring the exothermic reaction subsided and the mixture was allowed to stand overnight.
