Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At 20 to 30° c., a solution of 163 g (1 mol) of 4-tert.-butylbenzylamine in 100 ml of anhydrous acetonitrile was dripped, while cooling, into a mixture of 73 g (1 mol) of methyl isothiocyanate in 80 ml of anhydrous acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 20° C. and then for a further hour at 80 to 90° C. before being evaporated down. The crude product was precipitated with hexane from ethyl acetate, washed with hexane and dried under reduced pressure at 60° c.
