Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1 g (5.35 mmol) of (6-bromopyrid-2-yl)-N-methylamine, 1 ml of diisopropylethylamine and 1.6 g (8 mmol) of 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate are heated at 130° C. for 15 minutes by microwave. 1.2 ml (8 mmol) of heptylamine and 7 ml of dimethylformamide are added and the reaction medium is heated at 130° C. for a further 5 minutes. The residue obtained is purified by thin-layer chromatography on silica eluted with a 70/30 heptane/ethyl acetate mixture. 1.4 g (80%) of 1-(6-bromopyrid-2-yl)-3-heptyl-1-methylurea are obtained in the form of a yellow solid.
