Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 46.4 g (0.2 mol) of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise with stirring and external cooling 15.2 g (0.2 mol) of 2-(methylamino)ethanol. This addition was exothermic. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, washed with water, acidified with hydrochloric acid and extracted with ether. Crystallization of the ether extract gave 43.69 g (71% yield) of the desired product as a tan solid; m.p. 180°-181° C.
