Benzoyl chloride → N-(pyrazin-2-ylcarbamothioyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ammonium thiocyanate (17.8 g, 0.234 mol) in dry acetone (200 ml) at 0° C. under nitrogen is added benzoyl chloride (30 g, 0.213 mol) slowly over a period of 15 min. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30min and filtered. To the filtrate is added 2-amino pyrazine (16.2 g, 0.17 mol) dropwise and stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The solvent is removed under vacuum and the residue is diluted with water. The solid precipitated is filtered and dried to afford N-[(pyrazin-2-ylamino)carbonothioyl]benzamide as a solid (33 g; 76%). TLC—Chloroform/methanol (9/1): Rf−0.5.
