N-Methylaniline → Ethyl 4-[[(methylphenylamino)thioxomethyl]amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 107 parts of ethyl 4-isothiocyanato-1-piperidinecarboxylate, 53.5 parts of N-methylbenzenamine, 1 part of N,N-dimethyl-4-pyridinamine and 450 parts of methylbenzene was stirred and refluxed overnight. After cooling, the reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 2,2'-oxybispropane. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 68 parts (42%) of ethyl 4-[[(methylphenylamino)thioxomethyl]amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate; mp. 95.2° C. (14).
