Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chloromethyl-3-(2,3,4-trifluorophenyl)-2(3H)-thiazolethione (2.5 g) is dissolved in acetonitrile (25 ml) and thereto is added 40% solution of methylamine in methanol (3.3 g), and the mixture is stirred at 50° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure, and water is added to the residue and the mixture is extracted with chloroform. The extract is washed with saline solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue is recrystallized from cyclohexane-ethyl acetate to give the title compound (2.0 g) as yellow crystals.
