Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 18.7 g. (0.15 mole) of cyclohexyl isocyanate, 6.7 g. (0.05 mole) of 1,3-dimethyl-3-hydroperoxybutyl alcohol and 3 drops of triethylamine was stirred for five days at ambient temperature. The reaction vessel was protected with a calcium chloride tube to keep out moisture. Within two days, a solid began to appear, and after the five day stirring period the reaction mixture was stripped in vacuo. The residue was slurried in 100 ml of ether and filtered. The filter cake was washed with an additional 30 ml of ether and air dried. A total of 7.5 grams of a colorless solid was obtained.
