Thiophenol → 4-Methyl-5-[(phenylthio)methyl]-1,2,3-thiadiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

At an ice-cooled temperature, 3 ml of thionyl chloride was added to 0.50 g (3.8 mmol) of 4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylmethanol and stirred for 4 hours. Then, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and 1.30 g (11.5 mmol) of potassium carbonate, 0.38 g (3.4 mmol) of thiophenol and 10 ml of acetone were added to the concentrate and reacted for 7 hours with heating under reflux. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the precipitated matter was filtered off, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 5:1 mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate. Thus, 0.64 g of the objective compound was obtained.
