Methyl Isocyanate → 3-[[2-(4-Morpholinyl)ethyl]methylamino]-1,2-benzisoxazol-6-yl methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-[[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]methylamino]-1,2-benzisoxazol-6-ol (2 g) and copper(I)chloride (0.3 g) in EtOAc (60 ml) was added methyl isocyanate (0.5 g). After 3.5 hours thin layer chromatography (TLC) (silica gel, 10% MeOH/DCM) showed no starting material. The reaction was filtered through neutral alumina eluting with EtOAc (2 l) and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield 1.2 g of the product, m.p. 94°-95° C.
