Ammonium Hydroxide → 5-Bromo-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 5-bromo-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carboxylate (13.5 g, 56.9 mmol) in THF (50 mL) at room temperature was added NH4OH (28 wt. %, 39.6 mL, 164 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and a precipitate appeared in the aqueous layer. Volatile materials were removed in vacuo. The mixture was diluted with water and the precipitate was collected, washed with water and dried under vacuum to give the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6): δ7.99 (s, 1H), 7.55 (s, 1H).
