After 2 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture is filtered over some kieselguhr and then the filtrate is concentrated on a rotary evaporator at a maximum bath temperature of 50 C. in vacuo. The oil obtained in this way is stirred with ca. 50 ml of water. Extraction is carried out with in total about 100 ml of methylene chloride, and the combined organic phases are washed with water and dried over sodium sulphate. 6.9 g of brown oil result, which, according to HPLC analysis, consists to 84% of 4-[3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl]oxy}-2,5-dimethylaniline (yield=83.8% of theory).LC/MS: m/e=346 (MH+).
