Toluene → Cyclopentylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.3 g of N-[4-(β-<2-methoxy-5-chlorobenzamido>-ethyl)-benzenesulfonyl]-urea (m.p. 171° - 173°C), 300 ml of toluene, 30 ml of glycolmonomethyl ether, 1.65 g of glacial acetic acid and 2.4 g of cyclopentyl-amine was refluxed for 5 hours. Subsequently, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was treated with alcohol. N-[4-(β-<2-methoxy-5-chlorobenzamido>-ethyl)-benzenesulfonyl] -N'-cyclopentyl-urea obtained as a raw product was separated by suction-filtration and recrystallized from methanol. Melting point 184° - 185°C.
