Chloroacetamide → HCID 15009012, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.0 ml of 10N (40%) sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise to a suspension containing 5.7 g (0.03 mol) of 4-carbamoylmercaptomethyl-2(3H)-thiazolone [compound of the formula (Ib)] in 27 ml of water and 18 ml of ethanol at 25° to 30° C. while bubbling an inert gas through the mixture. After 15 minutes, 3.0 g (0.032 mol) of chloroacetamide are added to the reaction mixture which is then stirred for 16 hours. After filtering off the insoluble material, the filtrate is acidified by adding 5 ml of glacial acetic acid. The crystalline product is filtered, washed with isopropanol and dried to obtain 4.04 g (66.0%) of the named compound, m.p.: 151°-153° C. The active ingredient content of the substance is 99.4% based on titration with alkaline metal hydroxide.
