Butyl isocyanate → HCID 69299765, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-[[[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amino]methyl]benzoate (compound obtained in Reference Example 36(1), 200 mg) in methylene chloride (4 mL) is added n-butyl isocyanate (143 μL) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with chloroform (5 mL) and thereto is added a saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution (10 mL). After stirring, the organic layer is separated and concentrated. The resultant crude product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (Solvent; chloroform:methanol=100:0→90:10) to give methyl 4-[[N-(butylcarbamoyl)-N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amino]methyl]-benzoate (261 mg, yield; 92%) as a pale yellow oil.
