Dimethylcarbamoyl Chloride → N,N-Dimethyl-N'-(4,4-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,3-dioxo-7-isoquinolinyl)-urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.3 g. (6.3 mMole) 7-amino-4,4-dimethylisoquinoline-1,3-dione was dissolved in 30 ml. pyridine, mixed, while cooling with ice, with 1.5 g. dimethylcarbamoyl chloride and the reaction mixture further stirred for 4 hours at 25° C. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was distilled to dryness, the residue was taken up in methylene chloride, washed with water, dried and the methylene chloride distilled off. The residue was recrystallised from ethanol. Yield 1.1 g. (63.6% of theory); m.p. 256°-258° C.
