Triethylamine → N-Methyl-N-(3-methyl-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)cyclohexanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclohexane carboxylic acid chloride (9.92 g, 0.068 mol) was added slowly to a solution of 5-methylamino-3-methyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole (7.0 g, 0.054 mol) in dry benzene containing triethylamine (6.87 g, 0.068 mol) and the mixture heated under reflux for 11/2 hours, cooled and washed with 2N hydrochloric acid, saturated solution sodium hydrogen carbonate and water; dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated down to yield yellow oil which crystallised upon standing. This was recrystallised twice from petroleum ether 60°-80° C. to yield off-white crystals of N-(3-methyl-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)-N-methylcyclohexane carboxamide. Yield 8.23 g, (63.8%), m.p. 96° C.
