Cyclopentylamine → N-(4-pyridazinyl)-N'-cyclopentylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 2.0 grams (0.009 mole) of phenyl N-(4-pyridazinyl)carbamate and 1.0 ml of cyclopentylamine in tetrahydrofuran was heated under reflux for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. Elution was accomplished with 10% methanol in methylene chloride. The appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 0.2 gram of N-(4-pyridazinyl)-N'-cyclopentylurea. This material were combined with the identical product from a previous reaction to yield 0.5 gram; m.p. 192°-195° C. dec. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure. The reaction was repeated several times.
