Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-n-pentyloxyphenyl)-5-(4-acetyloxyphenyl)-thiadiazole 4.0 g (0.01 moles) was suspended in 40 mL methanol and mixed with a solution of 2.0 g KOH in 90 mL methanol. The mixture was heated for 2 hours under reflux. The solvent was subsequently distilled off in a rotary evaporator and the residue dissolved in 50 mL water. The solution was acidified with 5% HCl, and the precipitate formed was filtered off with suction and recrystallized from ethanol.
