3,5-Dichlorophenyl isocyanate → Ethyl 4-[(3,5-dichloroanilino)carbonyl]-2-piperazinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-piperazinecarboxylate (0.9 g, 5.7 mmol) in chloroform (11 mL) was added 3,5-dichlorophenyl isocyanate (1.05 g, 5.7 mmol). The reaction was stirred overnight after which time a precipitate had formed. The reaction was concentrated and the solid was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate as eluant to provide 0.53 g (27%) of ethyl 4-[(3,5-dichloroanilino)carbonyl]-2-piperazinecarboxylate as an off white powder. Electrospray Mass Spec 346.1 (N+H)+.
