Procedure
To a solution of N-methyl-N-[2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]hydroxyamine (700 mg, 1.93 mmol) in anhydrous THF (10 ml) is added methylisocyanate (220 mg, 2 eq.). The mixture is stirred at RT for 4 hours. The solvent and excess methlisocyanate are removed to yield N-methyl-N[2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl](N-methyl)carbamoyloxyamine.
