4,4'-Dimethoxybenzil → 5,6-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3-thione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4,4′-dimethoxybenzil (13.6 g, 50 mmol) and 6.06 g of thiosemicarbazide (66.5 mmol) in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid were stirred at room temperature then refluxed overnight. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with 150 mL of water and filtered. The solids were washed with water and dried. The crude product was heated with 55 mL of ethyl acetate, cooled, filtered and dried to give 10.1 g of 5,6-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3-thione, mp 228–232° C.
