Ethyl Acetate → 1-(3-Chloropropyl)-3-pyridin-3-ylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Chloro-3-isocyanato-propane (1.897 g, 15.873 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of pyridin-3-ylamine (1 g, 10.582 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) over a period of 30 minutes at 0° C. The reaction temperature was maintained at room temperature for 6 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (100% ethyl acetate). The reaction mixture was filtered, washed with toluene and dried under reduced pressure to afford 2.1 g (95.45% yield) of 1-(3-chloro-propyl)-3-pyridin-3-yl-urea.
