Reaction Steps

To 2.89 gms. (0.01 mole) of 1-(p-trifluoroacetamidophenyl)-3-methyl-3-(4-pyridylmethyl)urea [prepared by reacting 1-(p-aminophenyl)-3-methyl-3- (4-pyridylmethyl)urea (Example 6., supra.) with trifluoroacetic anhydride (method of Hickenbottom, Reactions of Organic Compounds, Longmans, London, 1963)] there is added 6.24 gms. (0.04 mole) of ethyl iodide in 50 ml. of dry acetone. The acetone is then stripped and the residue added to 50 ml. of water. The aqueous mixture is warmed to reflux for about 30 minutes and then allowed to stand overnight. The mixture is then stripped of water to give 1-(p-ethylaminophenyl)-4-methyl-3-(4-pyridylmethyl)urea.
