N,O-Dimethylhydroxylamine → N'-{4-[(2-Fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl}-N-methoxy-N-methylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-fluorobenzyloxy)phenyl isocyanate (24.3 g) in benzene (150 ml), a solution of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine (20 g) in benzene (100 ml) is added dropwise at 20° to 30° C., and the resulting mixture is stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo, and the residual crude crystals are recrystallized from ethanol to give N-[4-(2-fluorobenzyloxy)phenyl]-N'-methyl-N'-methoxyurea (Compound No. 1) (18 g) as white scales. M.P., 99° to 100° C.
