Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-amino-2-methyl-2-propanol (4.0 g, 45 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25 mL) at 0° C. was added a solution of ethyl isocyanate (3.2 g, 45 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours, then concentrated of all volatiles in vacuo to afford a quantitative yield of N-(2-methyl-2-hydroxypropyl)-N′-ethylurea as a yellow solid; NMR (DMSO-d6/TFA) 5.9 (m. 1), 5.7 (m, 1), 3.0 (m, 2), 2.9 (d, 2), 1.0 (s, 6), 0.9 (t, 3) ppm.
