Dimethylformamide → 5-Ureidoindolin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-aminoindolin-2-one (8.76, 58.79 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran:dimethylformamide (400 mL:60 mL) was added trimethylsilylisocyanate (10.6 mL, 78.68 mmol) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. A tan-colored solid formed which was isolated by filtration, washed with ether and dried in vacuo to afford 5-ureidoindolin-2-one (8.5 g).
