To a mixture of imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole 2 (10 mmol) and
potassium thiocyanate (1.56 g,16 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (50 mL)
was added bromine (1.6 g, 10 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (20 mL) at
0e5 ꢁC dropwise with stirring. Stirring was continued for 30 min at
15e20 ꢁC and then at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture
was poured into ice water, filtered, washed with water and crystal-
lized from EtOHeCHCl3 with a yield of 50e57%.
