Reaction Steps

Ethanol (30 ml) and cyanamide (298 mg, 7.09 mmol) were added to hydrochloride (856 mg, 3.54 mmol) of ethyl 5-amino-2-benzofurancarboxylate, and the mixture was stirred with heating at about 50° C. for 24 hours. Low boiling matters were distilled away from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=100/3-3/1) to give 902 mg of ethyl 5-guanidino-2-benzofurancarboxylate as a colorless solid (90%).
