Thiophosgene → HCID 86691479, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a biphasic solution of 2-cyclopentylaniline (0.46 g, 2.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) and water (4.8 mL) in a 100 mL roundbottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and nitrogen inlet was added sodium hydrogencarbonate (0.73 g, 8.6 mmol) followed by thiophosgene (0.21 mL, 2.8 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, filtered through a phase separator cartridge, and concentrated providing the 1-cyclopentyl-2-isothiocyanatobenzene as a red oil which was used without further purification. To a solution of the isothiocyanate in ethanol (5.5 mL) in a 100 mL roundbottom flask was added hydrazine hydrate (0.15 mL, 3.1 mmol), and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with hexanes and the resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with hexanes, and dried under house vacuum to provide the title compound (0.41 g, 1.7 mmol, 63% yield) as a white solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.02 (bs, 1H), 7.52 (bs, 1H), 7.41-7.18 (m, 4H), 4.06 (bs, 2H), 3.21-3.06 (m, 1H), 2.04 (s, 2H), 1.90-1.74 (m, 2H), 1.74-1.58 (m, 4H); ESIMS m/z 236 ([M+H]+).
