Formic Acid → 2-Amino-4-chloro-5-formyl-3-thiophenecarbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

48.3 parts of N,N-dimethyl-N'-(4-chloro-3-cyano-5-formylthien-2-yl)-formamidine in a mixture of 200 parts of formic acid and 200 parts of water are heated at the boil for 3 hours. After the mixture has cooled to room temperature, the product is filtered off under suction, washed with water and dried. 33.5 parts (90% of theory) of 2-amino-4-chloro-3-cyano-5-formylthiophene are obtained. Decomposition temperature: 270° C. (from glacial acetic acid), IR (KBr): 3377, 3298, 3156 (NH2), 2216 (C≡N), 1623 cm-1 (C=0).
