General Description

N-(p-Tolyl)trichloroacetamide, also known as N-(4-methylphenyl)trichloroacetamide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H8Cl3NO. It is commonly used as a pesticide and is known for its effectiveness in controlling pests and insects in various agricultural and industrial settings. N-(p-Tolyl)trichloroacetamide works by disrupting the nervous system of target organisms, leading to paralysis and ultimately death. It is considered to have low toxicity towards mammals and other non-target organisms, making it a versatile and valuable tool in pest control. However, proper handling and application procedures should be followed to minimize any potential risks associated with its use.

A novel synthesis of isocyanates and ureas via β-elimination of haloform

A novel synthesis of isocyanates via base-induced β-elimination of haloform from N-monosubstituted trihaloacetamides is described. The rate of reaction exhibits a strong dependence on the nature of the trihalomethyl group. Thus, while the reaction of tribromoacetamides proceeds at room temperature and the reaction of trichloroacetamides requires heating in polar solvents, no reaction could be observed for any of the corresponding trifluoro derivatives. This novel β-elimination of haloform from stable and readily available trihaloacetamides was applied to a 'one-pot' synthesis of ureas which avoids the use of phosgene and isolation of isocyanates.
