Ethyl Acetate → 1-Benzothiazol-6-yl-3-(2-chloro-ethyl)-urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Chloro-2-isocyanato-ethane (2.1 g, 19.99 mmol) was added drop wise to a stirred solution of benzothiazol-6-ylamine (2 g, 13.33 mmol) in toluene (80 mL) over a period of 15 minutes at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (50% ethyl acetate in hexane). The reaction mixture was filtered, washed with toluene and dried under reduced pressure to afford 2.73 g (80.2% yield) of 1-benzothiazol-6-yl-3-(2-chloro-ethyl)-urea.
