2-Chloromethylaminoacetaldehyde → 2-[1-Chloromethyl-3-(5-methylsulfinyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ureido]acetaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-methylsulfinyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl isocyanate dimer (0.05 mole), the dimethyl acetal of 2-chloromethylaminoacetaldehyde (0.1 mole) and benzene (60 ml) is charged into a glass reaction vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer and reflux condenser. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux for a period of about 15 minutes. After this time the mixture is stripped of benzene under reduced pressure to yield the desired product the dimethyl acetal of 2-[1-chloromethyl- 3-(5-methylsulfinyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ureido]-acetaldehyde.
