Sodium Bicarbonate → 3-(4-Chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

(Step 2) To a solution of phenyl (4-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)carbamate obtained in Step 1 (3.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) was added 2N dimethylamine tetrahydrofuran solution at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:4→2:3) to give 3-(4-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (2.33 g).
