Methanol → 1-(2-Chloroethyl)-3-(4-cyclopropylpyridin-3-yl)urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Chloro-2-isocyanatoethane (472 mg, 4.477 mmol) was added drop wise to a stirred mixture of 4-cyclopropylpyridin-3-amine (I-1b: 400 mg, 2.78 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (10% methanol in CHCl3). The crude product was concentrated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel (2% methanol in CHCl3) afforded 200 mg of the product (28% yield).
