Chloroacetone → 5-Methoxy-3-(2-oxopropyl)-3H-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

69 g of potassium carbonate are added to a solution of 33 g of 5-methoxy-3H-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-one in 400 ml of dioxane and the reaction mixture is heated to 60°. Then 21 g of chloroacetone are added dropwise within a short period of time and the reaction mixture is stirred at 70° for 20 hours and then, at 20°, is filtered over Celite. The filtrate is concentrated by evaporation. The residue is stirred with diisopropyl ether and filtered with suction. 45 g of crystals of the title compound having a melting point of 66-67° are thus obtained.
