Hydrochloric Acid → 5-Methyl-5-phenyl-3-phenylamino-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

37% hydrochloric acid (5 ml) and water (1 ml) was added at room temperature with stirring to a solution of 4-imino-5-methyl-5-phenyl-3-phenylaminothiazolidine-2-thione (9.38 g) in methanol (50 ml). The solution was stirred for 24 hrs at room temperature. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate-n-hexane, 1/3) to yield an oily 5-methyl-5-phenyl-3-phenylamino-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (7.02 g).
