Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.6 g o-methoxyaniline and 0.7 ml triethylamine with 5 ml aceton was added dropwise to a suspension of 1.5 g phenylcarbamoyl-benzoic acid sulfimide, under stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, then diluted with 100 ml water. The precipitated solid product was cooled, filtered, washed with water and dried. 0.80 g 1-phenyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-urea was obtained, which melted at 196°-198° C.
