3-Pyridinemethanol → (Pyridin-3-yl)methyl (4-sulfanylphenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

p-Mercaptophenyl isocyanate (0.9g., 0.00595 mole) was added to a solution of 3-pyridyl carbinol (0.65g., 0.00595 mole) in 50 ml. of benzene and the reaction mixture was allowed to stand over the weekend. It was then heated to reflux to assure completion of the reaction and then cooled to give a white solid. This was isolated as 1.2g. and was a 78% yield of 3-pyridylmethyl N-(4'-mercaptophenyl)carbamate.
