Potassium Carbonate → 5-Methoxy-3-(1-ethoxy-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 31 g of 1-chloro-3-ethoxypropan-2-one 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. 45 g of the title compound are thus obtained in the form of a light yellow oil.
