Dodecanoyl chloride → HCID 10730991, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lauroyl chloride (12.9 g, 0.06 mol) in THF (70 mL) was added dropwise to a vigorously stirred suspension of thiosemicarbazide (10.9 g, 0.12 mol) in THF (300 mL) at 0° C. After the addition was complete, the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 24 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo to one-quarter of the original volume and filtered through a silica pad, eluting with ethyl acetate (500 mL). The filtrate was concentrated to 250 mL, filtered, and the residue washed with ethyl acetate and dried in vacuo to give 12.0 g of a white solid.
