Ethanol → 4-(5-Tert-butyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylcarbamoylmethyl)-2-methylaminothiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture containing 11.4 g (0.035 mole) of N-(5-tert-butyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-4-bromoacetoacetamide, 150 ml of ethanol and 3.3 g (0.036 mole) of N-methylthiourea was refluxed for four hours. The reaction solution was poured into 300 ml of water and treated with excess aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The product was isolated and dried. There was obtained 9.5 g (87.2%) of white solid, m.p. 198°-200° (dec.). N.M.R. (CDCl3) ∂ 1.4 [C(CH3)3 ], 3.0 (CH3), 3.8 (CH2), 6.4 (hetero-aromatic).
