Participants

Reaction Steps

0.3 g of zinc chloride is added to 15.5 g of 1-methyl-5nitroimidazol-2-carboxaldehyde which has been dissolved in 100 ml of acetic acid and 50 ml of acetic anhydride and the whole is dripped into 10 g of 2-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole, which has been dissolved in a mixture of 100 ml of acetic acid and 50 ml of acetic anhydride, over a period of 5 hours at reflux temperature. After 24 hours the reaction mixture is freed of the solvent by evaporation and ether is added. After the reaction product has been washed with water it is recrystallized from xylene. 9.3 of product, corresponding to 39% of the theory, is obtained. The compound melts at 214° C.
