Methyl iodide → HCID 66861357, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (13.8 mg, 1.0 mmol) and 0.0624 ml (1.0 mmol) of methyl iodide were added to a solution of 150 mg (0.510 mmol) of 5-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol produced in Reference Example 2 in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The mixture was diluted with 30 ml of ethyl acetate, and the diluted solution was washed with 30 ml of a 10% aqueous ammonium chloride solution and 30 ml of saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and was then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under the reduced pressure, and the resultant crystal was washed with diisopropyl ether to give 140 mg (yield 89%) of the title compound.
