Phenyl Isothiocyanate → HCID 54171942, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Quinuclidinol and phenyl isothiocyanate were used. The reaction solution was heated at reflux under nitrogen for 6 days. The reaction solution was chromatographed using silica gel and elution with 10% methanol in methylene chloride followed by a solution of methylene chloride/methanol/ammonium hydroxide (9:1:0.1) to afford a white foam. This foam was dissolved in ethyl acetate/ether (1:9, 10 mL/g of foam), and the resulting cloudy solution was filtered through diatomaceous earth. The resultant filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residual foam was crystallized from ethyl acetate/hexanes (1:3) to afford the title compound (29%) as a white solid: mp 132.0-133.0° C.; FAB LRMS m /z (relative intensity, %) 263 (MH+, 14), 110 (100).
