2-Chloroethyl isocyanate → Urea, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(2-indanyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Synthesized according to general procedure 40. The reaction was set up with 2-aminoindan hydrochloride (5.0 g, 29.5 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (10.3 mL, 58.9 mmol), acetonitrile (100 mL), and 2-chloroethylisocyanate (2.52 mL, 29.5 mmol). Purification via silica gel chromatography using 50% EtOAc in hexanes gave the desired urea as a white solid (3.3 g, 13.8 mmol, 47% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.23-7.18 (m, 2H), 7.15-7.11 (m, 2H), 6.38 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 6.03 (t, J=5.7 Hz, 1H), 4.36-4.28 (m, 1H), 3.57 (t, J=6.2 Hz, 2H), 3.38-3.29 (m, 2H), 3.12 (dd, J=7.1, 15.8 Hz, 2H), 2.68 (dd, J=5.5, 15.8 Hz, 2H).
