Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A glass pressure vessel was charged with 27.5 grams (0.13 mole) 5-amino-3-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole, 17.9 grams (0.31 mole) methyl isocyanate, and 250 milliliters benzene. A magnetic stirring bar was added and the vessel sealed. The stirred reaction mixture was heated at 145° C. for 1.5 hours and then allowed to cool to room temperature where a urea by-product precipitates. The by-product was removed by filtration and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to leave 27.2 grams (65% yield) of product. Recrystallization from methanol gave an analytically pure sample; m.p. 94° C.
