Thiophenol → HCID 178420562, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (12 g) is dissolved in 40% sulfuric acid (26 ml), and with temperature held at 5° C. or below, a solution consisting of sodium nitrite (11.9 g) dissolved in water (36 ml) is added dropwise. Subsequently, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium acetate is added to adjust the pH of the mixture to 4-5. The resulting solution is added over 1.5 h under cooling with ice to a solution composed of thiophenol (11.6 ml), sodium hydroxide (4.72 g) and water (30 ml). The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h, then at 40°-50° C. for 1.5 h. After the reaction, the resulting product is extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, and dried with magnesium sulfate. When the solvent is distilled off, an oil remains. When this is purified by silica gel chromatography (solvent: chloroform-2% methanol), an oil is produced in an amount of 12.88 g; yield, 64.9%.
