Hydrogen Sulfide → Methyl 4-[3-(4-thiocarbamoylbenzoyl)ureido]phenoxyacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of step (a) (850 mg) in pyridine (48 ml) and triethylamine (7 ml) was covered with a blanket of H2S gas and stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was triturated with dry ether. The resultant solid was washed thoroughly with ether to give methyl 4-[3-(4-thiocarbamoylbenzoyl)ureido]phenoxyacetate (880 mg) as a yellow solid: NMR Spectrum (DMSO-d6) 3.72 (3H, s), 4.78 (2H, s), 6.95 (2H, d), 7.48 (2H, m), 7.93 (2H, d), 8.06 (2H, d), 9.65 (1H, br s), 10.05 (1H, br s), 10.62 (1H, s).
