Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(4-Phenoxybutyl)-N'-3-pyridylthiourea (1.41 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml), and cyanamide (400 mg), N,N'dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (1.95 g) and triethylamine (0.08 ml) were added. The mixture was stirred for 3 days at room temperature, when it was filtered, washed with acetonitrile, and ether to yield a solid mixture of the crude product and N,N'-dicyclohexylthiourea. The pure compound was obtained by extracting the mixture with 0.5N hydrochloric acid (16 ml), filtering and re-precipitation by addition of 9N sodium hydroxide to the filtrate.
