Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(2-Methoxy-ethoxy)-5-(pyridine-3-yloxy)-pyridine-2-ylamine (0.48 mmol) is dissolved in THF (7 ml) and 1,1′-thiocarbonyldiimidazole (4 eq.) is added. The reaction solution is stirred 2 days. 32% NH4OH (20 eq.) is added and stirred 4 hours at room temperature. The solved is removed in vacuo and water (150 ml) is added and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers are washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The solvent is removed in vacuo. [3-(2-Methoxy-ethoxy)-5-(pyridine-3-yloxy)-pyridine-2-yl]-thiourea is obtained as yellow solid in a yield of 69%. HPLC (method C): 1.15 min; LC-MS (method A): 0.9 min, 321.15 (MH+).
