Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-bromo-3-(3-cyanophenyl)-3-oxopropionate (1.25 g, 4.4 mmol) in 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added 1-acetylthiourea (0.52 g, 4.4 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 65° C. for 3 h. The reaction was allowed to cool and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with 10% aq HCl, saturated aq NaHCO3 and brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to yield a solid. Trituration with hexanes/ethyl acetate left the title compound as a white solid (0.4 g, 30%). MS (ESI) 302.2 (M+H)+.
