Reaction Steps

30.6 g (200 mmol) of 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol were hydrogenated over 1.0 g of palladium/carbon (10% strength; 50% water) in 500 ml of methyl tert-butyl ether. After the absorption of hydrogen was complete, the catalyst was filtered off. 24 g (200 mmol) of phenyl isocyanate were added to the filtrate at 15° C. with stirring in the course of 30 minutes. The precipitated solid was filtered off with suction and washed with methyl tert-butyl ether. Yield: 43 g (89%).
