Phenylacetyl chloride → N-Phenylmethyl-N-(5-Methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-benzene acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(5-Methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-benzylamine (15 g, 0.073 mole) in pyridine (200 ml) was refluxed with phenylacetyl chloride for 6 hours. The pyridine was removed under educed pressure and the residue treated with water and extracted with ether. The ethereal solution was dried, filtered and evaporated to dryness and the residue recrystallised from ethanol to give the title compound, m.p. 128° C.
