Guanidine Hydrochloride → HCID 178440701, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium (0.68 g, 29.7 mmol) is dissolved in 40 ml of t-butanol under N2 atmosphere. Guanidine hydrochloride (3.31 g, 34.65 mmol) is added to the sodium t-butoxide solution and stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. 2,6-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-[5-(methylsulfonyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl]-phenol (3.50 g, 9.93 mmol) is added and the reaction is warmed at reflux overnight. The cool reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo and is recrystallized from methanol-water. The solid is dissolved in diethyl ether and treated with ethereal HCl and the precipitate is collected and recrystallized from ethanol-ether to give 1.53 g (3.29 g theor., 46%) of N-[5-[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl]-guanidine, monochloride as a white solid: mp 223°-224° C.
