creatinine → HCID 136174789, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 6.9 g (60 mM) of creatinine in 100 ml of anhydrous DMF was added a solution of 6.5 g (60 mM) of 2-furanyl isocyanate in 75 ml of toluene. After stirring the mixture 1 hr. at 25° C. and then 1 hr. at 55° C., the solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue taken up in ethyl acetate and washed with water. The solvent was removed and the residue chromatographed over silica gel using ether-ethyl acetate (4:1) as the eluant. The fractions containing the product were combined and concentrated to leave 1.1 g of the above urea as an off-white solid, m.p. 173°-175° C. (dec.)
