Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(diethylamino)benzothioamide (2.29 g, 11 mmol) in EtOH (60 mL) were added 2-bromo-1,1-dimethoxyethane (1.86 g, 11 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (1.89 g, 11 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 95° C. overnight, then cooled to rt and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (PE/EtOAc/Et3N (V/V/V)=2:1:0.05) to give the title compound as a white solid (1.40 g, 55%).
