Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carbonitrile (200 mg, 1.32 mmol), ammonia acetate (204 mg, 2.64 mmol), and triethyl orthoacetate (2.0 mL) was stirred in a sealed tube at 120° C. overnight. After the reaction mixture was cooling down to room temperature, the precipitate was collected by filtration, rinsed with EtOAc and dried in the air to give title compound (52 mg, 60%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ2.41 (s, 3H), 2.45 (s, 3H), 2.56 (s, 3H), 5.28 (bs, 2H). MS 194 (MH+).
