Phosgene → (1-Methylethyl)phenylcarbamic chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-isopropylaniline (30 g) in dry benzene (150 ml) was cooled to 5°-10° C and phosgene passed therethrough slowly for 11/2 hours. The mixture was refluxed for 1 hour to remove excess phosgene, cooled and the amine hydrochloride was filtered off. The solvent was evaporated and the residue recrystallised from benzene-petroleum ether 1:1, giving 21.6 g, m.p. 89°-90° C.
