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

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thirteen grams of 4-(2-naphthyloxy)phenyl isocyanate were dissolved in 100 ml of benzene, and a solution of 4 g of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine in 50 ml of benzene was added dropwise thereto at a temperature below 30° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, and the solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 14 g of N'-[4-(2-naphthyloxy)phenyl]-N-methoxy-N-methylurea as white needles. M.P., 102°-103° C.
