Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 974966, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2-Fluorobenzoyl)-4-methylthiosemicarbazide (11.3 g, 4.97×10-2 mole) or the aforementioned mixture of the above and pyridine hydrochloride and 1 molar aqueous NaHCO3 (480 ml, 4.80×10-1 mole) were stirred and heated to reflux. After refluxing overnight, the reaction was cooled in an ice bath before being acidified by the dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 ml, 4.8×10-1 mole). The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with a little H2O, and dried by suction. This afforded a colorless powder. This material was of sufficient purity to go on to the next step. If desired this material could be crystallized from EtOAc/hexane affording colorless needles, Mp 137°-139° C.
