Dimethylformamide → 1-[4-[2-(2,3-Dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl) ethyloxy]phenyl]-3-methoxy-3-methylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.6 g of 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methoxy-3-methylurea was dissolved into 20 ml of dried N,N-dimethylformamide, and 0.6 g of 60% sodium hydride was added thereto. After the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, 1.7 g of 2-(2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl)ethyl chloride was added dropwise thereto under cooling with ice. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours, it was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. After the organic layer was washed with water, it was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and ethyl acetate was distilled off. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using ethyl acetate/n-hexane (1/1) as a developer to obtain 2.0 g of Compound No. 10 shown in Table 1.
