2,4-Dichloro-1-isothiocyanatobenzene → Methyl 3-({[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)amino]carbonothioyl}amino)-2-[(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-amino-2-[(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]benzoate (1.00 g, 4.46 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (12 mL) was added 2,4-dichlorophenyl isothiocyanate (910 mg, 4.46 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 10-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a brown solid (1.87 g, 4.37 mmol, 98%).
