Pyridine → Phenyl 4-carbamoylphenylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-aminobenzamide (5.0 g, 36.7 mmol) and pyridine (2.9 g, 36.7 mmol)) in dry CH2Cl2 (100 mL) at −10° C., phenyl chloroformate (6.9 g, 44.1 mmol) was added dropwise, stirred at −10° C. for 30 min and then at room temperature for 30 minutes The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (100 mL) and washed with water (2×70 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to get the crude product. The crude product was dissolved in diethyl ether (15 mL) and sonicated for 10 minutes and then pentane (30 mL) was added, the resulting solid was filtered and washed with pentane to give phenyl 4-carbamoylphenylcarbamate (7.2 g, 77% yield).
