Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(4-Amino-phenyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester (118 g, 0.65 mol) is dissolved in glacial acetic acid (2.0 L) under nitrogen and the mixture is heated to 90° C. Phthalic anhydride (102.0 g, 0.69 mol) is added portionwise over 30 minutes and the reaction is kept at 90° C. for 2 hours. The mixture is allowed to cool to ambient temperature and the precipitated solid is filtered off. The solid is washed on the filter with water (2 L) followed by diethylether (3 L) and then dried in vacuo. Yield 127 g (62%) title compound as white crystalline compound. LC/MS (m/z) 311.3 (MH+); tR=2.57 min. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 1.26 (t, 3H); 4.15 (q, 2H); 7.34 (dd, 2H); 7.58 (dd, 2H); 7.90 (ddd, 2H); 7.95 (ddd, 2H); 9.80 (s, 1H, NH).
