Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At 50° C., 3.1 g (17.55 mmol) of 5-chlorothiophene-2-carbohydrazide were substantially suspended in 30 ml of dry THF. 1.81 g (17.90 mmol) of 1-isocyanato-2-methoxyethane dissolved in 30 ml of THF were then added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2.5 h. After cooling to RT, the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator and the residue was triturated with diethyl ether. The crystals were filtered off with suction, washed with diethyl ether and dried under high vacuum. This gave 4.87 g (100% of theory) of the title compound.
