Participants

Reaction Steps

In 5 ml of pyridine, 0.53 g of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-7-hydroxybenzo[b]thien-4-ylurea is stirred and 0.39 g of benzoyl chloride added under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture is stirred at room temperature and after 1 hr, an additional 0.2 g of benzoyl chloride is added. After another 0.75 hr, the mixture is poured into H2O and the white precipitate is collected. The solid is washed with H2O, dried, dissolved in acetone-hexane and filtered to remove an insoluble material. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness and the acetone-hexane treatments are repeated twice to remove additional side product. The solid from the filtrate is recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give a solid with m.p. 199° C-205° C.
