Benzoyl isothiocyanate → N-(2-methoxy-5-morpholinophenylcarbamothioyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methoxy-5-morpholin-4-yl-phenylamine (4.6 g, 22 mmol) in acetone (140 ml) is added a solution of benzoyl isothiocyanate (3.4 ml, 25 mmol) in acetone (80 ml) and the reaction mixture is stirred for further 30 min at ambient temperature. After removal of the volatile components in vacuo, the product is isolated by flash chromatography (silica, eluent ethyl acetate/n-hexane 1:4, then 1:2) as a yellow solid (8.0 g, 97%). MS: m/e=272 (M+).
