Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(2-Carbamoyl-2-cyano-thioacetylamino)-benzoic acid t-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Isothiocyanato-benzoic acid t-butyl ester 2 (28.3 gm, 120.4 mmol) was taken into DMF (200 ml). To this KOH (6.74 gm, 120.4 mmol) and cyanoacetamide (10.21 gm, 120.4 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction mixture was acidified with 1N HCl, the precipitate obtained was filtered, washed with water, and dried under vacuum, to provide 32.10 gm of 4-(2-Carbamoyl-2-cyano-thioacetylamino)-benzoic acid t-butyl ester 3.
