Diisopropylethylamine → 1-Cyclohexyl-2-isocyanatobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-cyclohexylbenzoic acid (2 g, 9.8 mmol) and DIPEA (3.45 μL, 14.7 mmol) in toluene (25 mL) under nitrogen was added diphenylphosphoryl azide (2.1 mL, 9.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h at room temperature and then heated at 90° C. for 3 h. Upon cooling, the organic layer was washed with saturated ammonium chloride solution (2×10 mL) and brine (1×10 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a clear amber oil.
