1,1-Bis(methylthio)-2-nitroethylene → 1-(1-Methyl-4-pyrazolylmethyl)2-(nitromethylene)tetrahydropyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 16.8 g of N-(1-methyl-4-pyrazolylmethyl)-trimethylenediamine, 16.5 g of 1-nitro-2,2-bis(methylthio)ethylene and 200 ml of ethanol wash heated under reflux until the generation of methylmercaptan ceased. The mixture was cooled, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration. Washing with methanol gave 16.6 g of the desired 1-(1-methyl-4-pyrazolylmethyl)2-(nitromethylene)tetrahydropyrimidine as pale yellow crystals.
