Diazotization of 3-amino-2-methylbenzoic acid (I), followed by coupling with methyl thioglycolate leads to thioether (II). Selective reduction of the carboxyl group of (II) with borane in THF yields the benzyl alcohol (III), which is chlorinated to (IV) employing SOCl2. Condensation of benzyl chloride (IV) with 2 mercaptobenzimidazole (V) under alkaline conditions furnishes adduct (VI). The ester group of (VI) is then reduced to alcohol (VII) with LiAlH4 in THF. Finally, coupling of alcohol (VII) with phenyl isocyanate provides the target carbamate compound.
