Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1,4-benzodioxan-6-amine (15.1 g; 100 mmol) and triethylamine (20.2 g; 200 mmol) in toluene (350 ml) was added dropwise over 10 min. thiophosgene (11.5 g; 100 mmol) in toluene (50 ml). The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 30 min., cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated. The product was redissolved in toluene and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil was taken up in warm petroleum ether, which was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to a small volume, which afforded 7.2 g of 3,4-ethylenedioxyphenylisothiocyanate.
