Reaction Steps

2-Nitrothiophen-5-carboxaldehyde (0.157 g) and phenylsulfonyl acetonitrile (0.199 g) were stirred in 2 mL of ethanol containing 0.01 mL piperidine for four hours at 100° C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and water was added for crystallization. The crude product was filtered and recrystallized from ethanol and water to give 0.16 g of (E)-3-(2-nitrothien-5-yl)-2-(phenylsulfonyl) acrylonitrile. Alternatively, the crude product was purified on a silica gel column with a mixture of ethylacetate and hexane as eluent.
