Chloroform → 2-benzylthio-6-methoxy-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Four (4) grams of the thus obtained 2-amino-5-benzylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 3.2 g of propyl 3-hydroxy-2-methoxy-propenoate and 11 g of polyphosphoric acid were heated to 135° C. and stirred for 20 minutes. After cooling, chloroform and water were added thereto, extraction was carried out. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was washed with an ethanol/hexane mixture and 5.1 g of 2-benzylthio-6-methoxy-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one was obtained. Yield 93%. The compound was recrystallized from ethanol. m.p. 145°-147° C.
