Triethylamine → 1-(3-Diethylaminopropyl)-3-[4-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)pyridin-2-yl]-1-methylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)pyridin-2-ylamine (300 mg, 1.2 mmol) and triethylamine (0.335 ml, 2.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) was added phenyl chloroformate (0.226 ml, 1.8 mmol) dropwise while stirring in an ice bath, followed by stirring for 0.5 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under a reduced pressure to give a residue, to which N,N-dimethylformamide (6.0 ml) and N,N-diethyl-N′-methyl-1,3-propanediamine (606 mg, 4.2 mmol) were added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 hrs and 45 min. To the reaction mixture was added ethyl acetate (150 ml), washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give a residue, which was filtered by silica gel (Fuji Silysia NH, hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1 to 1:1) to provide the titled compound (503 mg, 100%) as a yellow oil.
