Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)-1-nitrobenzene (0.98 g, 80%) was prepared from 4-methoxyphenol (0.62 g, 5.0 mmol) and 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (0.71 g, 5.0 mmol) following the general procedure A. This was reduced to 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)aniline (0.32 g, 60%, 2.5 mmol scale) following the general procedure B. N-[2-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)phenyl)-N′-(thiazol-2-yl)urea (256 mg, 75%) was prepared from 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)aniline (215 mg, 1.0 mmol) and 2-aminothiazole (100 mg, 1.0 mmol) following the general procedure D.
