Sodium Methoxide → HCID 54512939, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-crotyl-N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-N'-ethoxycarbonylthiourea (6 g) and sodium methoxide (28% methanolic solution; 6.6 g) in methanol (100 ml) was refluxed for 2 days. After removal of the solvent, the residue was extracted with chloroform, washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was subjected to column chromatography to give N-crotyl-N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)thiourea (2.4 g). The thus obtained thiourea (2.0 g) and N-bromosuccinimide (1.4 g) were dissolved in chloroform (50 ml), and the resultant solution was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours, washed with an aqueous sodium sulfite solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removal of the solvent by distillation under reduced pressure, the residue was subjected to column chromatography to give 0.8 g of 2-imino-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-(1-bromoethyl)thiazolidine.
