Toluene → 3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphosgene (0.75 g) was added to anhydroue toluene (10 ml) under nitrogen protection, and then a solution of 3-trifluoromethylaniline (0.8 g) in dichloromethane (15 ml) was added dropwise in an ice-bath. After addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min, and then heated to 80° C. for 6 h. The completion of the reaction was indicated by TLC. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the product as oil, which then was solidified.
