3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate → 1-[4-(6-Methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-phenyl]-3-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(6-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-phenylamine (1.3 g, 5.5 mmol) in THF (24 ml) is cooled to 0° C. A solution of 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate (790 μl, 5.5 mmol) in THF (24 ml) is added and stirring is continued overnight at r.t. The solvent is evaporated and the crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography using an ethyl acetate/heptane eluent (1:1) to give 1.76 g (75%) of a white powder.
