(1,1-Dimethylethyl)urea → HCID 20064756, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

By the procedure of Example 50, 12.35 g (50 mmol) of methyl 3-chloro-3-(o-chlorophenyl)pyruvate was reacted with 5.8 g (50 mmol) of tert-butyl urea at 105°-115° C. for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and then diluted with methylene chloride, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a yellow oil. This oil was purified by flash chromatography techniques on silic gel using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent. There was obtained 5.77 g of an orange viscous oil product identified in Table I.
