Furfurylamine → 1-(Furan-2-ylmethyl)-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

Furan-2-ylmethylamine (190 mg) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (5 ml) and to the solution were added triethylamine (200 mg) and 4-methoxybenzylisothiocyanate (360 mg), followed by stirring at room temperature for 24 hours. Then, the resulting mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column-chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1) to yield the compound 16-1 (0.5 g, 90%) as a liquid.
