Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(4-fluorobenzoyl)cyclohexanone (14 g), urea (7.6 g), conc. hydrochloric acid (8 ml) and ethanol (40 ml) is refluxed for 8 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is diluted with water and washed with methylene chloride. The aqueous layer is made alkaline with potassium carbonate, and the precipitated crystal is separated by filtration and recrystallized from N,N-dimethylformamide-ethanol to give the desired compound (9.6 g), m.p. 248°-253° C.
