1-Iodopentane → HCID 53955720, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of sodium, 4-cyano-5-ethoxycarbonylamino-isothiazole-3-thiolate (5.0 g, 20 mmol), 1-iodopentane (4.0 g, 20 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. After concentration in vacuo, the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The aqueous layer was extracted three limes with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was filtered through a pad of silica gel using 1:1 ethyl acetate-hexane as eluent. The filtrated was concentrated and the residue was recrystallized from cold aqueous methanol, affording 2.5 g (42%)(4-cyano-3-pentylsulfanyl-isothiazol-5-yl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester as a colorless solid. An additional 0.5 g (8.4%) was obtained by concentration of the mother liquor and purification by radial chromatography (4 mm plate, 4:1 hexane-ethyl acetate). 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6) δ 11.1 (bs, 1H), 4.32 (q, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 3.21 (t, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 1.73 (p, 2H, J=6.8 Hz), 1.44-1.28 (m, 7H), 0.90 (t, 3H, J=7.6 Hz) ppm; MS (APCI, m/z): 312 [M+Na]+.
