Benzoyl isothiocyanate → 1-Benzoyl-3-{2-methoxy-5-[(2-methoxy-ethyl)-methyl-amino]-phenyl}-thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1.89 g (8.99 mmol) 4-methoxy-N1-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-N1-methyl-benzene-1,3-diamine in 60 ml acetone was added dropwise a solution of 1.38 ml (10.3 mmol) benzoyl isothiocyanate in 30 ml acetone and stirring continued at room temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. Trituration in ether afforded 2.05 g (61%) 1-benzoyl-3-{2-methoxy-5-[(2-methoxy-ethyl)-methyl-amino]-phenyl}-thiourea as a yellow solid. ES-MS m/e ((Y)): 374 (M+H+, 100).
