Reaction Steps

DL-4-Chlorophenylalanine ethyl ester hydrochloride(5 g, 18.9 mmol) was converted to the free base using triethylamine. A solution of the free base in 75 mL ether was added to a solution of 4-isopropylphenylisothiocyanate in 150 mL ether, cooled on an ice-salt bath. The temperature was maintained at about 0° C. during addition. The reaction was stirred for four and one-half hours, at which time the reaction temperature was 12° C.. The reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate concentrated, and the resulting foamy residue triturated with petroleum ether while cooling on ice. This resulted in 6.1 g (15.1 mmol, 80%) N-(4-isopropylphenyl)-N'-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl]thiourea, mp 73°-75° C.
