Reaction Steps

40 g of chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride were added to a mixture of 25 g of 3-amino-crotononitrile in 700 ml of tetrahydrofuran and the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours after which the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was heated at 140°C for 10 minutes and cooled and then 1N sodium hydroxide was added thereto. The aqueous solution was washed with ethylacetate, acidified with hydrochloric and extracted with ethylacetate. The organic extracts were dried, concentrated to dryness and isopropyl ether was added to obtain 31 g of 5-cyano-4-methyl-4-thiazoline-2-one melting at 180° to 181°C.
