Ammonia → 2-(Carbamoylamino)thiophene-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-3-thiophenecarboxamide (0.44 g) was suspended in acetonitrile (25 ml) and trichloroacetylisocyanate (0.2 ml) added dropwise with stirring over 10 minutes. Stirring was continued for a further 3 h at room temperature and then a solution of ammonia in methanol (10 ml of a 2M solution) was added and stirring continued for a further 2 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue treated with water. The resultant solid was filtered off and washed with more water. Trituration with ether gave the title urea (0.2 g).
