Potassium Carbonate → HCID 23080252, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetonitrile (20 ml) suspension of 2-mercaptoimidazole (1.0 g) and 2,3-dichloronitrobenzene (2.1 g), potassium carbonate (1.7 g) was stirred under refluxing for 6.5 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water. The deposited solids were collected by filtration, and washed with n-hexane. The thus obtained solids were dried, there was obtained 2-(2-chloro-6-nitrophenylthio)imidazole (2.4 g, yield: 94%) as yellow powdery product.
