Pyridine → N-cyclohexyl-N-methylcarbamoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of triphosgene (4.35 g) in toluene (70 ml) is added dropwise N-methylcyclohexylamine (5 g). To the mixture is added dropwise pyridine (3.5 g), and the mixture is refluxed for 4 hours. The mixture is allowed to cool, and the organic layer is separated, washed with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent to give N-methyl-N-cyclohexylaminocarbonyl chloride (7.62 g) as a colorless oil.
