Thiophenol → 5-Phenylsulfanyl-[1,3,4]thiadiazole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-chloro-[1,3,4]thiadiazole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.0 g, 5.2 mmol, 1 eq), and K2CO3 (1.44 g, 104 mmol, 2 eq) in CH3CN (50 mL), thiophenol (0.53 mL, 5.2 mmol, 1 eq) is added. The reaction is stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction is filtered to remove the salts, and the filtrate is washed with CH3CN. The solvents are removed under reduced pressure, and the product is recrystallized from EtOH to give 5-phenylsulfanyl-[1,3,4]thiadiazole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.03 g, 74%).
