Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 129 g of 2-(1-thioxoethyl)thioglycolic acid, ethyl ester, 67.5 g of methyl hydrazinocarboxylate and 500 ml of chloroform was heated at reflux for 8 hours, then concentrated in vacuo. The oily residue was concentrated further under high vacuum, giving a yellow oil. This oil was dissolved in 500 ml of dichloromethane and passed through a bed of hydrous magnesium silicate, washing with additional dichloromethane. The resulting light yellow oil was crystallized from toluene-methylcyclohexane, giving 70 g of the desired compound as ivory crystals, mp 99°-100.5° C. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (δ [ppm], CDCl3) 90 MHz: 2.42 (s, 3H, CH3CS); 3.76 (s, 3H, OCH3); 8.55 (bs, 1H, NH); 9.56 (bs, 1H, NH).
