Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.04 g phosgene in about 25 ml benzene was added to a cooled (0°C.) solution of 5 g 2-amino-3-cyano-4-t-butylthiophene, 5 g diethylamine and 8.4 g triethylamine in 100 ml benzene. The reaction mixture was warmed to about 25°C. and maintained at this temperature for about 16 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to give a black oil. The oil was chromatographed on silica gel. The product, a brown solid melting at 120°-125°C., was eluted from the silica gel with 1:1 ether-hexane. The infrared spectrum of the product showed strong cyano absorption at 4.6 microns and strong carbonyl absorption at 6.0 microns. Sulfur analysis for the product is tabulated in Table I.
