Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → HCID 178512296, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Cyano-N'-4-pyridylthiourea (1.80 g) was suspended in dimethylformamide (5 ml). While stirring in an ice bath N-phenylethylenediamine (1.4 ml) and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.50 g) were added, resulting in a clear solution. The mixture was left at room temperature for 3 days, when the suspension formed was evaporated extensively under high vacuum. The residue was triturated repeatedly with ether (15 ml portions), and the residual solid was extracted with 1N hydrochloric acid (50 ml). After filtration, the crude product was precipitated from the filtrate by addition of 9N sodium hydroxide and taken up into ethyl acetate (3×75 ml).
