Procedure

To a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (prepared by adding 13.5 g of anhydrous sodium methoxide to 300 ml of absolute ethanol) was added 31 g of 2-methylamino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole. After stirring for 15 min. at room temperature, 36 g of benzyl bromide was added to the homogeneous solution and the reaction heated to reflux for 4 hrs. At the end of the reflux period, most of the ethanol was removed at reduced pressure, water was added and the reaction extracted with ethyl acetate, which was washed with water and saturated NaCl, then dried over Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent gave a viscous oil which was crystallized from a mixture of ether and petroleum ether to give 29.7 g of 2-methylamino-5-benzylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole, MP 87-891/4C.
