Phosgene → HCID 12861465, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g. of 4-amino-3,5-dichloroacetophenone, 5 ml. of phosgene, and 30 ml. of toluene was heated to 150° C. for 24 hours in a sealed tube. The reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide crude 4-acetyl-2,6-dichlorophenyl isocyanate. The crude product was dissolved in 100 ml. of toluene and then dry dimethylamine was passed through the solution for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue formed was recrystallized from a mixture of benzene and n-hexane to provide 2.58 g. of 3,5-dichloro-4-N,N-dimethylcarbamoylaminoacetophenone having a melting point of 138°-140° C.
