Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled mixture of 2.8 g of 1-benzyl-1-methylhydroxyguanidine and 1.3 g of triethylamine in 30 ml of benzene was added dropwise 1.3 ml of diketene under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then concentrated in vacuo. After adding 50 ml of toluene to the residue, the resultant solution was heated under reflux for 4 hours with a water separator. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel using chloroform-methanol (70:1) as eluent to give 1.7 g of 5-acetonyl-3-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino)-1,2,4-oxadiazole as a colorless oil, IR νmaxneat cm-1 : 1725, 1590, 1410, 1355, 1155.
