Hydrochloric Acid → 2-Hexyl-5-(6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.50 g (22.7 mM) of potassium hydroxide was dissolved in 72 ml of ethanol at 60°-65° C. To the solution, 2.90 g (8.18 mM) of 2-hexyl-5-(6-acetoxynaphthalene-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole was added, followed by stirring for 20 minutes at 60°-65° C. The reaction mixture was poured into 200 ml of iced water and 3 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added thereto to precipitate a crystal. The crystal was recovered by filtration and washed with water to obtain 1.90 g of 2-hexyl-5-(6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (Yield: 71.9 %). ##STR138##
