Dimethyl Sulfoxide → Diethyl 2-amino-6-{[(N-methylamino)-carbonyloxy-carbamoyl]-methyl}-azulene-1,3-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.2 g (0.55 mmol) of diethyl 2-amino-6-[(hydroxycarbamoyl)-methyl]-azulene-1,3-dicarboxylate, 5 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide and 35 □l (0.6 mmol) of methyl isocyanate is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. Thereafter, the mixture is diluted with water, extracted with dichloromethane and the extract is chromatographed on silica gel. Elution with ethyl acetate gives 60 mg (36% of theory) of the title compound of m.p. 222-224° C.
