Thiophosgene → Dichloromethane isohexane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thiophosgene (33.6 g) in CHCl3 (250 ml) and K2CO3 (64.7 g) in H2O (450 ml) are added, separately and simultaneously, drop wise to a solution of 3-tert-Butoxy-5-fluoro-phenyl-amine (42.9 g) in CHCl3 (350 ml) at 0° C. The reaction mixture is warmed to room temperature over night. The organics are separated and washed with water (3×), brine (1×), dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The title compound is obtained by flash column chromatography (silica, eluent dichloromethane/iso-hexane 1:3).
