Reaction Steps

24.3 g (0.3 mole) of potassium isocyanate in solution in 75 cm3 of water is added to 57.9g (0.25 mole) of 4-nitro-2-methyl-N-(β-aminoethyl) aniline monohydrochloride in 235 cm3 of water at 60°. After keeping the reaction mixture for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath, drying yields 48 g of 4-nitro-2-methyl-N-(β-ureido-ethyl)aniline which, after recrystallization in acetic acid, melts at 186° C.
