Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4.89 g. of phenylisocyanate in 100 ml. of hexane was added to a solution of 4.41 g. of N-benzyl-n-butylamine in 150 ml. of hexane and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then evaporated. The residual solid was recrystallized from pentane to yield 1-benzyl-1-(n-butyl)-3-(phenyl)urea.
