Water → phenyl N-(2,4-difluorophenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

After dissolving 2,4-difluoroaniline (10 ml, 98.21 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml), pyridine (8.7 ml, 108.33 mmol) was added at room temperature and the mixture was stirred. It was then cooled on ice, phenyl chloroformate (13.6 ml, 108.33 mmol) was added dropwise over 15 minutes, and the mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, extraction was performed with ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran, the extract was washed with saturated saline and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the filtrate was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained crystals were suspended in ethanol and diluted with hexane, and then the crystals were filtered out, washed with hexane and dried by aspiration to obtain the title compound (21.00 g, 84.26 mmol, 85.80%) as light violet crystals.
