4-[(6,7-Dimethoxyquinolin-4-yl)oxy]aniline → N-{4-[(6,7-Dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]phenyl}-N'-[3-(methylsulphenyl)propanoyl]thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(Methylsulphenyl)propanoyl isothiocyanate was prepared using commercially available 3-(methylsulphenyl)propanoyl chloride (80 mg) as a starting compound according to the description of the literature. 4-[(6,7-Dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]aniline (50 mg) was dissolved in toluene (5 ml) and ethanol (1 ml) to prepare a solution. A solution of 3-(methylsulphenyl)propanoyl isothiocyanate in ethanol (1 ml) was then added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using chloroform/acetone for development to give the title compound (41 mg, yield 56%).
