Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a sulfonation flask, 2.02 g (0.02 mol) of 1-isothiocynatopropane are added dropwise to 30 ml dimethylformamide and 3.0 g (0.019 mol) of methyl 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylate. The reaction mixture is then stirred at 130-135° C. for 12 hours and after cooling added to 120 ml of water. The resulting mixture is then extracted three times with ethylacetate and the separeted organic phase dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is then removed in a water-jet vacuum, giving the crude product as a dark oil, which is purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluant: tert.butylmethylether/hexane=2:3). 2.0 g of methyl 2-(3-propylthioureido)thiophene-3-carboxylate are obtained in the form of a yellow powder having a melting point of 122-124° C.
