Ethyl isothiocyanatoformate → Ethyl {[(5-methoxypyridin-2-yl)amino]carbonothioyl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-methoxypyridin-2-amine (1.05 g, 8.43 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (5 mL) was added ethyl isothiocyanatoformate (1.44 g, 11.0 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 15 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dried to give the title compound (1.34 g, 62%) as a white solid.
