Methanol → 1-(2-Chloro-ethyl)-3-(4-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Chloro-2-isocyanato-ethane (5.91 ml, 69.35 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 4-methyl-pyridin-3-ylamine (5 g, 46.23 mmol) in toluene (180 mL) at 0° C. The reaction temperature was maintained at room temperature for 5 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (5% MeOH in chloroform). The reaction mixture was filtered, washed with toluene and dried under reduced pressure to afford 8.5 g (86% yield) of 1-(2-chloro-ethyl)-3-(4-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-urea.
