Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of dimethylformamide, 6 g of 2-hexylthio-7-iodo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one was dissolved. To this solution, 1.77 g of copper cyanide and 0.97 g of sodium cyanide were added and the solution was stirred at 100° C. for 1 hour. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, it was wxtracted with chloroform and water. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Florisil® was added to the organic layer and it was shaken. The solvent was distilled off, and 2.3 g of 7-cyano-2-hexylthio-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one was obtained.
