4'-Methoxyacetophenone → 4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3-thiadiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

The hydrazone (16.0 g, 68 mmol) derived from p-methoxyacetophenone and ethylcarbazate was added to 50 ml of SOCl2 and cooled in an ice bath. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and then heated at 60° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was cooled, and the solvent was removed under vacuum, affording a crude solid. The solid was recrystallized from ether affording 4 (9.95 g, 76%), m.p. 91°-93.5° C.
