Diphosgene → 4-Chloro-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-yl isocyanate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.97 g (0.010 mole) of 7-amino-4-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran in 60 mL of toluene was added slowly 1.2 mL (0.010 mole) of trichloromethyl chloroformate. This mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for one hour and then was heated at reflux for approximately 16 hours. At the conclusion of this period the solvent was evaporated from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, leaving 2.23 g of 4-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-yl isocyanate as an oil.
