Reaction Steps

6,6-Dimethyl-3-methylthio-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[c]thiophen-4-one-1-carboximidic acid ethyl ester (1.0 g, 3.37 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (60 mL) and methyl hydrazine (0.16 g, 3.37 mmol) was added. The solution was heated at 50° C. for 7 h then evaporated to dryness and the residue was taken up in formic acid (20 mL). The solution was heated at 100° C. for 16 h then evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and washed with saturated potassium carbonate solution, then evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate to yield the title compound as a yellow solid (0.15 g, 15%). mp 146-148° C. Found: C, 54.55; H, 5.46; N, 13.27%. C14H17N3OS2 requires; C,54.70; H, 5.77; N, 13.27%. 1HNMR (250 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.05 (6H, s), 2.44 (2H, s), 2.63 (3H, s), 2.74 (2H, s), 3.96 (3H, s), 7.98 (1H, s). MS (ES+) 308 (M+1).
