Ethyl isocyanate → 2-((2-cyano-3-nitrophenoxy)methyl)-N-ethylpiperidine-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-nitro-6-(piperidin-2-ylmethoxy)benzonitrile hydrochloride (Example 26d, 0.5 g, 1.68 mmol) in THF were added triethylamine (0.514 mL, 3.7 mmol) and ethylisocyanate (0.2 mL, 2.52 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 3 hours. The solution was then diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc, the combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 2-((2-cyano-3-nitrophenoxy)methyl)-N-ethylpiperidine-1-carboxamide (0.485 g, 87%) which was used in the next step without further purification. MS 333 (MH+).
