Toluene → HCID 178443210, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 99.2 grams (0.4 moles) of 2-(2-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-ylthio)-succinic anhydride, 160 grams (0.8 moles) of tridecyl alcohol and 0.2 grams of p-toluene sulfonic acid in 800 ml. of toluene was refluxed for 18 hours. This reaction was monitored by means of the amount of water collected in a Dean-Stark trap attached to the refluxing condenser. After distilling off the solvent, attempt was made to distill off the reaction product without success. The reaction product was a viscous oil. Its IR spectrum and elemental analysis was consistent with the proposed structure.
