Reaction Steps

88 g of dimethylaminoethylamine are dissolved in 500 ml of toluene and then 119 g of phenyl isocyanate are added dropwise in the course of 10 minutes, whereupon the temperature rises to 97° C. The mixture is refluxed for 4 hours. On cooling, the product crystallises and is filtered with suction. The moist product is recrystallised from 1000 ml of ethyl acetate. Yield: 135 g (65.1%); m.p. 141°-142° C.
