Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.6 g of 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-isopropyl-5-oxo-2-tetrazoline and 5.1 g of 2,4-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson's reagent) are heated at reflux for 24 hours in 60 ml of dry toluene. After evaporating off the solvent, the residue is purified by chromatography on 500 g of silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (19:1) as eluant. Crystallisation from hexane yields 4.2 g of 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-isopropyl-5-thioxo-2-tetrazoline in the form of colourless crystals, m.p. 109°-111° C.
