Participants

Reaction Steps

10.1 g. of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole are dissolved in 160 ml. of ethanol, 19.9 g. of α-bromoacetophenone is added and the solution is heated and stirred at reflux for 1 hour. After cooling, the solid is filtered off and dissolved in 750 ml. of water and 40 ml. of 48% hydrobromic acid. This solution is heated at reflux for 1 hour, neutralized by addition of solid ammonium acetate and refluxed 1/2 hour longer. After cooling, the product is collected on a filter, washed with water and dried. The yield of product is 13 g. melting at 127°-130° C. It has the formula: ##STR15##
