Ethyl bromopyruvate → HCID 69140342, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-methyl-1, 3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (264 mg, 2 mmol) and ethyl bromopyruvate (0.264 mL, 2.1 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) and acetonitrile (10 mL) was stirred at 20° C. for 3 hours under nitrogen. The precipitates were filtered, washed with methylene chloride, and dried under vacuum. This gave the expected product, 3-(5-methyl-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-2-oxo-propionic acid ethyl ester (450 mg, yield 69%) as a solid. 1H-NMR (300 Hz, D3COD and d6-DMSO) δ (ppm): 4.22 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.78 (d, J=14.1 Hz, 1H), 3.71 (d, J=14.1 Hz, 1H), 2.74 (s, 3H), 1.27 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H).
