Reaction Steps

To 190 ml of ethanol and 240 ml of water, 81.5 g of 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and 26.9 g of sodium hydroxide were added. To this mixture 99.0 g of 1-bromohexane was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at 60°-70° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, water was added to the mixture and the mixture was filtered. The residue was washed with water, dried under reduced pressure, and recrystallized from an ethanol/hexane mixture. Thus 100.5 g of 2-amino-5-hexylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole was obtained. m.p. 113°-115° C. Yield 77%.
