Investigations were carried out using 6-mercaptopurine and 1-methyl-4-nitro-5-chloroimidazole as model compounds. The reaction kinetics were investigated by the UV spectroscopy at various time intervals. An efficient synthesis of azathioprine [an immunosuppressive drug] which can be applied on an industrial scale in a yield of 80% was elaborated.
