Ammonia → Cyclopentylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.8 g of 4-[4-(β-<2-methoxy-5-chloro-benzamido>-ethyl)-benzenesulfonyl]-cyclooctanone-semicarbazone, 50 ml of dioxane and 0.29 g of cyclopentyl-amine were refluxed for 1 hour. The clear solution was concentrated in vacuo and the residue obtained was treated with about 0.5 %-aqueous ammonia. After filtration the filtrate was acidified. A crystalline precipitate of N-[4-(β-<2-methoxy-5-chlorobenzamido>-ethyl)-benzenesulfonyl]-N'-cyclopentyl-urea was obtained, separated by suction-filtration, dried and recrystallized from methanol. The melting point of the substance was 182° - 184°C.
