Participants

Reaction Steps

To the above solution of 2-ethoxyethyl isocyanate was added a solution of 5-fluorouracil (2.60 g.) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (20 ml.) at 80° and stirred for further 3 hours at the same temperature. The resultant mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 ml.), washed with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution (each 30 ml., 2 times), dried over magnesium sulfate, treated with activated charcoal, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 1-[N-(2-ethoxyethyl)carbamoyl]-5-fluorouracil (1.82 g.).
