p-Aminoacetophenone → HCID 73663830, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.7 g 4-aminoacetophenone in 40 mL THF is added dropwise to a solution of 0.02 mol of O-acetylthreonine methyl ester isocyanate and 5 mL pyridine in 40 mL THF, and the reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours. The solvent is then removed by rotary evaporator. The residue is dispersed in 50 mL CH3OH, and 0.222 mol hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 0.06 mol trimethyl orthoformate are added. The reaction mixture is heated to reflux for 10 hours. The solvent is removed by rotary evaporator. Addition of water to the residue results in precipitation of N-[4-(1-hydroxyiminoethyl)phenyl]-N'-(1-methoxycarbonyl-2-acetyloxypropyl)urea, which is isolated by filtration and dried.
