Procedure

A mixture of ethyl 5-bromo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4-oxo-3-propylthiobenzo[c]thiophene-1-carboxylate (9.43 g), thiobenzamide (6.86 g) and ethanol (190 ml) was refluxed under heating for 4 hours, after which it was poured over water (600 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and dried (MgSO4), after which the solvent was distilled off. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:10, v/v) to yield ethyl 4,5-dihydro-2-phenyl-8-propylthiothieno[3,4-e]-benzothiazole-6-carboxylate (3.63 g, 34.9%), which was then recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. Yellow prisms. Melting point 125-126° C.
