Water → Pyridine-2-carbothioamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

43 g of phosphorus pentasulfide were added slowly to 46.8 g of the amide of Stage A in 700 ml of tetrahydrofuran and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ether. The extracts were dried and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. After chromatography on silica (eluant: CH2Cl2 --AcOEt 8-2), 10 g of expected product melting at 137° C. were obtained.
