Ethyl isocyanate → 5-Butoxy-N-ethyl-3-oxo-1,2,4-thiadiazole-2(3H)-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1 ml of triethylamine was added to a solution of 17.4 g of 3-hydroxy-5-n-butoxy-1,2,4-thiadiazole in 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran and then 12 ml of ethyl isocyanate were added dropwise with stirring. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 20° C and was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel and elution with a 7-3 benzene-ethyl acetate mixture yielded 18.5 g of 2-(N-ethylcarbamoyl)-5-n-butoxy-1,2,4-thiadiazole-3-one.
