Chloroacetyl chloride → 2-chloro-N-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (C1, 1.06 g, 6 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.83 g, 6 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (20 mL), was added chloroacetyl chloride (C2, 0.48 mL, 6 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was then poured into ice-water (100 mL), stirred, and then filtered. The resulting solid was washed with water, and then dried in the oven under vacuum to afford compound C3 (1.15 g, 76%) as a white solid.
