Sodium Cyanate → 5-ureidospiro[benzo[b]furan-2(3H),1'-cyclopropane]-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-aminospiro[benzo[b]furan-2(3H),1'-cyclopropane]-3-one (1.75 g.) in methanol (10 ml.) and acetic acid (5 ml.) was added dropwise 2 ml. of aqueous solution of sodium cyanate (130 mg.), and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added ice-water, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol to give colorless needles of 5-ureidospiro[benzo[b]furan-2(3H),1'-cyclopropane]-3-one (0.74 g.).
