Dimethylformamide → 2-Cyano-N-cyclopropyl-N-[[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]carbonyl]acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, to 1-cyclopropyl-3-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-urea 48 (167 g) and cyanoacetic acid 73 (80.0 g), was added N,N-dimethylformamide (836 ml), and methanesulfonyl chloride (72.8 ml) was added dropwise with stirring at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled with water, and water-isopropanol [2:1 (volume ratio), 1670 ml] was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred under water-cooling for 1 hr, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and dried to give 1-(2-cyano-acetyl)-1-cyclopropyl-3-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-urea 74 (192 g).
