Subsequently, a solution containing chloroacetonitrile (5.3 g, 70.2 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (10 ml) was added dropwise under ice-cooling over 5 minutes and the mixture was stirred at that temperature for 20 minutes. Potassium carbonate (10.8 g, 78.0 mmol) and methyl iodide (12.2 g, 85.8 mmol) were then added and the mixture was stirred further for 30 minutes. The reaction solution was extracted 10 with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed (with water and aqueous saturated sodium chloride, in turn), dried (over anhydrous magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=10:1) and the crystals thus obtained were washed with n-hexane to afford 3-ethyl-5-methylthio-4-propionylthiophene-2-carbonitrile (14.8 g, 88%) as colorless prisms.
