Dimethylamine → 1-Methacryloyl-3,3-dimethylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of dimethylamine (0.45 g; 10 mmol) in chloroform (20 ml), a solution of methacryloyl isocyanate (1.11 g; 10 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (20 ml) was dropwise added under nitrogen stream while cooling with ice. After completion of the addition, chloroform and 1,2-dichloroethane were evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1-methacryloyl-3,3-dimethylurea (1.56 g) as a colorless oil.
