Isopropyl isocyanate → Tert-butyl (2-(3-isopropylureido)-4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (2-amino-4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)carbamate (0.20 g, 0.70 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in dichloromethane (4 mL) was added isopropyl isocyanate (0.07 mL, 0.83 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) and TEA (0.19 mL, 1.37 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction was then diluted with dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 20% EtOAc/hexanes) to give tert-butyl (2-(3-isopropylureido)-4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)carbamate (0.18 g, 70% yield).
