Reaction Steps

90 g of 2-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole-5-carbaldehyde, 60 g of malonic acid and 3 ml of piperidine in 95 ml of pyridine were boiled under reflux for 10 hours. The mixture was cooled to 5° C., stirred at this temperature for 2 hours and filtered. The residue was washed with water and dried. 92 g (84% of theory) of β-(2-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)-propenoic acid of melting point 278°-280° C. (decomposition) were obtained.
