Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1000 mL glass flask equipped with a reflux condenser, a gas-liquid separator, and a stirrer was charged with 522.4 g (4.01 mol) of 1-octanol and 60.07 g (1.00 mol) of urea. While the mixture was stirred at 500 rpm and nitrogen gas was allowed to flow at 30 mL per minute, the mixture was allowed to react at 165° C. After 90 min, 52.1 g (0.87 mol) of urea was added, and after 120 min, 49.34 g (0.82 mol) of urea was added, and the mixture was allowed to react at a reaction temperature of 165° C.
