Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → HCID 178451273, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.2 g (6.4 mmol) of 2-chloro-5pyridylthiourea, 1 g (7.68 mmol) of glycine tert-butyl ester and 1.45 g (7.04 mmol) of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in 30 ml of ethyl acetate is heated for 2.5 hr at 60° C. The dicyclohexylthiourea precipitate formed is eliminated by filtration. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness The product obtained is taken up in 20 ml of dichloromethane and then extracted with a 0.25 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (4 × 30 ml). The acid solution is then neutralized with a 1 N sodium hydroxide solution, and thereafter is extracted with dichloromethane (3× 20 ml), thus permitting 0.65 g (yield 36%) of tert-butyl N-[2-chloro-5-aminopyridyl(imino)methyl]-2-aminoethanoate to be obtained in the form of an oil.
