Participants

Reaction Steps

Thiophosgene (0.34 mL, 4.40 mmol) is added dropwise to a -78° C. solution of 3-[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]thio]propanoic acid hydrazide (1.5 g, 4.40 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred for 10 minutes then poured into a separatory funnel containing ethyl acetate and aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase is washed three times with water and once with brine. Drying the organic phase over magnesium sulfate and evaporation gives a heavy oil which is crystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane to afford 1.0 g (59%) of 5-[2-[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]thio]ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione, mp 123.5°-124.5° C.
