Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)-1-nitrobenzene (0.99 g, 81%) was prepared from 2-methoxy-phenol (0.68 g, 5.5 mmol) and 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (0.71 g, 5.0 mmol) following the general procedure A. This was reduced to 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)aniline (0.63 g, 73%) following general procedure B. N-2-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)phenyl-N′-(thiazol-2-yl)urea (110 g, 65%) was prepared from 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)aniline (108 mg, 0.5 mmol) and 2-aminothiazole (60 mg, 0.6 mmol) following the general procedure D.
