N,N-Diethylaniline → HCID 13387367, 화합물

3-Chloro-4-hydroxy-5-methoxymethylaniline (52.8 g) and N,N-diethylaniline (42.0 g) were dissolved in ethyl acetate (300 ml). To the resultant solution was dropwise added isopropyl chloroformate (34.6 g) in 15 minutes under ice-cooling. After being allowed to stand at room temperature for 12 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into ice-water. The organic layer was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using toluene and ethyl acetate as the eluent to give isopropyl N-(3-chloro-4-hydroxy-5-methoxymethylphenyl)carbamate (65.6 g). Sodium hydride (9.60 g, 60% dispersion in mineral oil) was added to dimethylformamide (240 ml). To the resultant mixture was added isopropyl N-(3-chloro-4-hydroxy-5-methoxymethylphenyl)carbamate (65.6 g) under 5° C. The resulting solution was stirred at a temperature of 20° C. for 30 minutes, and chloroacetonitrile (19.0 g) was added thereto in 5 minutes. The mixture was heated at 90° C. for 10 minutes, poured into ice-water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with aqueous potassium carbonate solution and water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using toluene and ethyl acetate as the eluent to give isopropyl N-(3-chloro-4-cyanomethoxy-5-methoxymethylphenyl)carbamate (Compound No. 5) (67.5 g) in a yield of 76.8%. M.P., 58.5°-60.5° C.
