N,N'-Dimethylurea → IMIDODICARBONIC DIAMIDE, N-(2-FLUOROPHENYL)-N',2

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8.8 g (0.1 mol) of 1,3-dimethyl urea dissolved in 30 ml of xylene there was added a solution of 13.7 g (0.1 mol) of 2-fluorophenylisocyanate dissolved in 30 ml of xylene. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 4 hours and then allowed to stand at ambient temperature for 16 hours. During this time the product crystallized and was removed by filtration. The product weighed 15.8 g. The NMR spectrum had a doublet at 2.86 ppm, a singlet at 3.25 ppm, and a multiplet structure at 7.2 ppm, characteristic of a biuret structure.
