2-Tolyl isocyanate → Tert-butyl 4-({[(2-methylphenyl)amino]carbonyl}amino)benzylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methylphenylisocyanate (7.57 g, 59.83 mmol) was added dropwise at 0° C. to a solution of (4-amino-benzyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (13.30 g, 59.83 mmol, prepared analoguous to: Moloney, Gerard P.; Martin, Graeme R.; Mathews, Neil; Milne, Aynsley; Hobbs, Heather; et al. J Med. Chem. 1999, 42, 2504–2526) in 120 mL DCM. The reaction was heated under reflux for 16 h, cooled to r.t. and the precipitated product was collected by filtration and dried in vacuum (19.20 g, 54.00 mmol). M.p. 200–202° C.; TLC (PE/EtOAc 1/1) Rf 0.65; 1H NMR (400 MHz, D6-DMSO) δ 1.39 (s, 9H); 2.24 (s, 3H); 4.06 (d, J=6 Hz, 2H); 6.93 (mc, 1H); 7.12–7.17 (m, 4); 7.32 (mc, 1H); 7.40 (mc, 2H); 7.85 (mc, 1H); 7.90 (s, 1H); 8.98 (s, 1H).
