Cyclohexyl isocyanate → HCID 178511685, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trans-1,4-diaminocyclohexane (6.15 g, 0.054 mmol) was added in a flame dried Schlenk flask and dissolved in THF (500 mL) under argon atmosphere. The solution was cooled to −40° C. in a cooling bath (isopropyl alcohol/dry ice) and cyclohexyl isocyanate (6.75 g, 0.054 mmol), diluted in THF (100 mL), was added slowly under heavy stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at room temperature. The precipitated white solid was filtered off, suspended in water and acidified to pH 2 (HCl). The emerging clear solution was again filtrated and the filtrate was brought to pH 8 (NaOH) whereupon the trans-1-(4-aminocyclohexyl)-3-cyclohexylurea precipitated as a white solid.
