Triethylamine → 1-(3-(3-Cyano-4-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxobutyl)-3-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-(4-amino-2-methyl-3-oxobutan-2-yl)-2-fluorobenzonitrile hydrochloride (2.8 g, 10.9 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) were added Et3N (4.6 mL, 32.7 mmol, 3 eq) and 1-fluoro-4-isothiocyanato-2-methoxybenzene (2.2 g, 12 mmol, 1.1 eq). After stirring 2 h, the reaction mixture was partitioned in DCM and water. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica, Hex:EA=1:1) to give 1-(3-(3-cyano-4-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxobutyl)-3-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)thiourea (3.7 g, 84%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.59 (bs, 1H), 7.53-7.49 (m, 2H), 7.26-7.18 (m, 2H), 6.89-6.79 (m, 2H), 6.70 (bs, 1H), 4.44 (d, J=4.4 Hz, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 1.58 (s, 6H).
