Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.2 g (0.005 mole) of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(2-thienyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole in 150 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran containing 0.49 g of triethylamine, 0.56 g (0.005 mole) of thiophosgene is added and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After filtration, the solution is evaporated in vacuo to give the crude product. It is crystallized from petroleum ether to give 0.7 g (50%) of the title compound, m.p. 161°-162°.
