m-ethylphenyl-N-methylcyanamide → HCID 178436381, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(3-ethylphenyl)-N-methylcyanamide (520 mg, 3.3 mmol), 2,5-dibromoaniline hydrochloride (861 mg, 3 mmol), and chlorobenzene (2 mL) were combined in a dry round bottom flask equipped with water cooled condenser under nitrogen and placed in a preheated oil bath (150-160° C.). The reaction mixture was heated for 3 hours. After cooling, the crude reaction product was purified by crystallization from chlorobenzene/diethylether. The resulting crystals were collected by filtration, washed with diethylether, and dried in a vacuum oven (40° C., 15 hours) to yield the title compound, N-(3-ethylphenyl)-N-methyl-N'-(2,5-dibromophenyl)guanidine hydrochloride, as a white solid (780 mg, 59% yield).
