1-Chlorobutane-2,3-dione → HCID 50998257, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of thiourea (8.87 g, 115 mmol) in ethanol (20.9 mL) was added 1-chloro-2,3-butanedione (13.90 g, 115 mmol) dropwise, a slight exothermic reaction resulted. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered and the precipitate washed with ethyl ether (2×). The tan solid was air dried then dried under high vacuum overnight to give 1-(2-amino-thiazol-4-yl)-ethanone hydrochloride as a tan solid (21.5 g, 97%).
