Dimethyl Sulfate → 2-Methyl-2-thiopseudourea sulfate

Participants

Reaction Steps

U.S. Pat. No. 3,010,968 describes a process for making the 2-benzimidazolecarbamic.acid esters of formula (I) by reacting thiourea with dimethyl sulfate to produce 2-methylthiopseudourea sulfate. This reaction product is then reacted with an alkyl chloroformate and a base to produce an acylated 2-methylthiopseudourea, which is then reacted further with an o-phenylenediamine in the presence of a protonic acid to produce the desired product.
