Reaction Steps

A sample of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthylamine (7.4 grams, 0.05 mole) is dissolved in 140 ml of ether and treated with a solution of ethyl isocyanate (3.6 grams, 0.05 mole) in 10 ml of ether. The reaction mixture is stirred at reflux for 3 hours, and then overnight at room temperature. The crude product is collected by filtration and recrystallized from a hot mixture of methanol and water. The yield is 7.8 grams (71.6%), melting point 178°C. to 179°C.
