Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 14500684, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.05 g (0.05 mole) of 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide in 75 mL of absolute ethanol was treated with 8.48 g (0.05 mole) of ethyl 2-choroacetoacetate and stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was treated with 40 mL of 2N ethanolic hydrogen chloride and heated at reflux for 1 hr, during which time the yellow slurry became a clear, deep orange solution. The characteristic insoluble amorphous sulfur was removed by filtration. The filtrate began to solidify. It was allowed to cool for approximately 16 hr to yield 10.1 g of yellow crystalline product. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield an additional 3 g of yellow product. The 2 solids were combined and recrystallized from benzene to give 10.4 g of white crystalline product, mp 188°-189° C.
