Methylamine → N-Methyl-N'-(trifluoromethyl)urea

Methylamine (3.1 grams; 0.1 mol) is placed into a glass ampule of 30 ml capacity and is cooled in an acetone-dry ice bath. Trifluoromethyl isocyanate (11.1 grams; 0.1 mol) is added to the ampule and the ampule is sealed. The reaction mixture is slowly warmed up to room temperature and is allowed to stand at this temperature for a period of about 1 hour. At the end of this time the ampule is opened and the contents removed and distilled under reduced pressure to yield N-methyl-N'-trifluoromethyl urea.
