Acetonitrile → 4-[N-(2-chloro-5-pyridylmethyl)-N-methylamino]-3-methyl-5-nitro-2-thiazolone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(2-chloro-5-pyridylmethylamino)-1-methylamino-2-nitroethylene (3.0 g) and acetonitrile (30 ml) was added slowly and dropwise chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride (1.8 g) at 10° to 20° C. After an overnight stirring, the solvent was distilled off from the reaction liquid under reduced pressure and the thus obtained residue was refined with column chromatography (eluant: ethanol/chloroform=1/10) to obtain the desired 4-[N-(2-chloro-5-pyridylmethyl)-N-methylamino]-3-methyl-5-nitro-2-thiazolone (1.0 g) having a melting point in the range from 147° to 148° C.
