Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 4-amino-3-methylphenylacetate (1.32 g, 7.37 mmol) and triethylamine (205 ml, 1.47 mmol) in THF (20 ml) was added 2-methoxyphenyl isocyanate (980 ml, 7.37 mmol), and the resulting mixture was stirred for 23 h. The mixture was concentrated to a small volume in vacuo and hexane was added to the residue to give precipitate, which was collected to give ethyl 4-[N′-(2-methoxyphenyl)ureido]phenylacetate (2.44 g, quant.) as a white crystalline material. mp 107–109° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.26 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3 H), 3.56 (s, 3 H), 3.79 (s, 3 H), 4.15 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2 H), 6.82–6.85 (m, 1 H), 6.91–7.00 (m, 2 H), 7.08 (s, 1 H), 7.17 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2 H), 7.27 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.33 (s, 1 H), 8.07–8.10 (m, 1 H); MS (ESI) m/z 329 (M++H).
