Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (4.53 g.; 0.058 mole) was added to a suspension of 1-methoxycarbonyl-3-(2-amino-4-n-butylphenyl)-thiourea (16.0 g; 0.057 mol3) in dry toluene (230 ml) and the stirred mixture was refluxed for ninety minutes. During this time the solid gradually dissolved to give a slightly turbid solution. On cooling to laboratory temperature a solid separated which was filtered off and recrystallised to give 1-methoxycarbonyl-3-(2-acetamido-4-n-butylphenyl)thiourea (11.4 g), m.p. 173°-174° C. (with decomposition).
