Water → (4-Bromo-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl chloroformate (0.55 g, 0.48 mL, 5 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-bromo-2,6-dimethyl-phenylamine (1.0 g, 5 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 16 hours. Water was added to the mixture and the precipitate formed collected to give the title compound as a powder (1.32 g, 97% yield).
