Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178498105, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(2-amino-4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)morpholine (2.7 g), N,N-dimethyl cyanamide (1 g) and m-cresol (15 ml) was heated at 90°-95° C. for 10 hours. Ice was added and the reaction mixture acidified to pH 4 by the addition of 2N hydrochloric acid and the resultant mixture extracted with ether. The aqueous layer was cooled, basified to pH 8 by the addition of solid sodium bicarbonate and then extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried and the solvent removed to yield an oily residue which was purified by chromatography on a neutral alumina column eluted with a 1:99 mixture of methanol and dichloromethane to give 1,1-dimethyl-2-(5-methoxycarbonyl-2-morpholinophenylguanidine (m.p. 152°-154° C.).
