Potassium Carbonate → N-[5-(4-bromophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-4-chlorobutanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(4-bromophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (10.2 g, 0.04 mol), 4-chlorobutyryl chloride (11.3 g, 9.0 ml, 0.08 mol) and potassium carbonate (5.5 g, 0.04 mole) in toluene (100 ml) was heated under reflux for 4 hr. The toluene was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was then quenched with water, stirred, and filtered. The solid obtained was washed, dried and recrystallized from toluene to give the required product (12.5 g, 87% yield), mp 187-9° C., m/e 360, 15.7% (consistent with molecular formula C12H11BrClN3OS, calcd. 360.66). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 1.96-2.22 (m, 2H, —CH2), 2.69-2.81 (m, 2H, —CH2), 3.71-3.72 (m, 2H, —CH2), 7.49-7.88 (dd, 4H, ArH), 12.76 (br s, 1H, NH). 13C NMR: δ 27.3, 32.1, 44.6, 123.8, 128.7, 129.4, 132.3, 158.5, 160.7, 170.7.
