4-Fluorophenyl isocyanate → N-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(4-fluorophenyl)urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-acetyl-4-aminopiperidine hydrochloride (536 mg) in dichloromethane (5 ml) were added 4-fluorophenyl isocyanate (375 μl) and diisopropylethylamine (575 μl ) at ambient temperature. After stirring for 3 hours, the reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane. An organic phase was separated and an aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane. A combined organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. After crystallization from diisopropyl ether and n-hexane, N-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)-N′-(4-fluorophenyl)urea (448 mg) was obtained.
