Procedure

Under argon, 24.5 g (182 mmol) of anhydrous copper(II) chloride are suspended in 180 ml of acetonitrile, and 21.4 g (182 mmol) of isopentyl nitrite are then added dropwise. After 20 minutes of stirring at room temperature, 10 g (30.5 mmol) of 2-amino-4-phenyl-6-(phenylsulfanyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarbonitrile [Kambe et al., Synthesis, 531-533 (1981)] are added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature over the weekend. For work-up, 150 ml of 1 N hydrochloric acid are added to the mixture, the mixture is extracted 4× with dichloromethane and the organic phase is washed once with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is triturated with a little ethyl acetate and allowed to stand in a fridge for one hour. The crystals are filtered off with suction and washed with a little cold ethyl acetate and diethyl ether.
