Methyl iodide → 6-(4-Bromo-3-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(4-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)-2,2-diethoxyethanone (2.24 g, 0.00734 mol), thiosemicarbazide (0.702 g, 0.00771 mol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (70 mg) in ethanol (50 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 2 h. LCMS showed that the starting material was consumed. After cooled to RT, to the mixture was added methyl iodide (2.3 mL, 0.037 mol). The mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h, and concentrated. To the residue was added acetic acid (15 mL). The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 4 h. The volatiles were evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with methanol. The formed precipitate was collected by filtration, and dried in-vacuo to afford the desired product (1.15 g, 51%) which was directly used in next step without further purification.
