반응 단계

A mixture of 50 grams of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]thiophen-4-amine hydrochloride in 100 ml. of water is stirred at about 15° C. and a solution of 23.1 grams of potassium cyanate in 100 ml. of water is added dropwise. After completion of the addition, the mixture is warmed slowly to 70°-75° C. and held there for one hour. The mixture is cooled and the white solid is collected by filtration and washed with water. The solid is air-dried, pulverized, and washed with acetonitrile. Upon drying, this crude product is treated with hot acetone whereby there is obtained 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]thien-4-ylurea, m.p. 217° C. dec.
