Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3 g of 2,4-furandione in 100 ml of benzene is added 4 g of tert-amylurea. The solution is heated under nitrogen at reflux for three hours with water removal. At the end of that period the solution is cooled and concentrated. The residual material is recrystallized from acetonitrile to give 2.5 g of 1-tert-amyl-3-(2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-3-furyl)urea, m.p. 169°-171° C. The infrared and n.m.r. spectra are consistent with the assigned structure.
