Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 14500702, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 34.7 g (0.2 mole) of 4-cyclohexyl-3-thiosemicarbazide and 32.9 g (0.2 mole) of ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate in 350 mL of absolute ethanol was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at ambient temperature for 2 hr, treated with 100 mL of 2N ethanolic hydrogen chloride and heated at reflux for 2 hr. The hot reaction mixture was filtered to remove an amorphous solid. The product persistently crystallized in the filter. The product was recrystallized from acetone and recovered by decating off hot acetone solvent and washing the residue with cold acetone to give 27 g of large, off-white crystals, mp 178°-182° C.
