Ammonia → N-(2-methoxy-5-thioureidophenylmethyl)carbamic acid t-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the compound (52 mg) obtained in Example 119 and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (53 mg) in methylene chloride (5 ml), thiophosgene (0.02 ml) was added dropwise and stirred at room temperature for 15 min. To the reaction mixture, 28% aqueous ammonia solution (5 ml) was added and stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h. After neutralization with 2 N HCl, the reaction mixture was extracted with methylene chloride and the organic layer was washed successively with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent, ethyl acetate) to give 58 mg of the titled compound (yield, 91%).
