Reaction Steps

A 100 milliliter, 3-neck flask adapted with a Claisen adaptor, paddle stirrer, thermometer, an addition funnel and condenser, was charged with 9.4 grams (0.040 mole) of 2-(3,5-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid, (3.6 grams, 0.040 mole) of thiosemicarbazide and 30 milliliters of dioxane. The slurry was heated to 90° C. and the addition funnel was charged with phosphorous oxychloride (POCl3). The POCl3 (6.7 grams, 0.044 mole) was slowly added (for 22 minutes) while maintaining the temperature within 85°-90° C. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 60 minutes. The flask was evacuated by using a water aspirator to remove volatiles (HCl, POCl3 and some dioxane), fifty (50) milliliters of water was added and 50 percent solution of NaOH was also added until the pH of the solution was 10; an oil formed. The oil was extracted with diethylether, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and topped in a roto-vac at 70° C. to yield 7.9 grams of a pale yellow oil of 5-[1-(3,5-dichlorophenoxy)ethyl]-2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol.
