Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N-Methyl-4-benzyloxy-2-fluoroaniline (250 mg, 1.0805 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (5.0 ml), and then sodium hydride (65 mg, 1.6207 mmol, 60% in oil) was added and the mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 45 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere. After adding 4-fluorophenyl isocyanate (0.14 ml, 1.1836 mmol), the mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 45 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere. There was further added 4-fluorophenyl isocyanate (0.14 ml, 0.5094 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 30 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, water was added to the reaction solution, extraction was performed with ethyl acetate, the extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was adsorbed onto NH silica gel and purified by NH silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate system) to obtain the title compound (0.105 g, 0.2881 mmol, 21.67%) as a light yellow oil.
