Methylamine → 5-amino-N-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methylamine (2M in THF, 40 mmol) was added to a suspension of 5-acetylamino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonyl chloride (10 mmol) (prepared as described in Bioorg. Med. Chem. 5, 515, 1997) in THF (10 mL) at −20° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature over night and evaporated to dryness. The crude methylsulfonamide was suspended in EtOH (15 mL) and added 4N HCl in dioxane (15 mL) and heated for 4 h at 80° C. and then cooled to room temperature and evaporated to dryness to give crude 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonic acid methylamide.
