Chloroacetyl chloride → 1-Methoxycarbonyl-3-(2-chloroacetamidophenyl)thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1-methoxycarbonyl-3-(2-aminophenyl)thiourea (9.00 g) in toluene (80 ml) was treated with chloroacetyl chloride (4.52 g) at room temperature and the mixture was heated to reflux for 1 hour with stirring. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and the resultant white solid was filtered off and recrystallised from ethanol to give 1-methoxycarbonyl-3-(2-chloroacetamidophenyl)thiourea (7.98 g ), m.p. 156°-158° C.
