Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-aminoethylthiomethyl)-6-(dimethylaminomethyl)benzofuran (Example 1, Step E) (8.0 g., 0.0303 mole) and 1,1-bismethylthio-2-nitroethene (5.25 g., 0.0318 mole) in acetonitrile (80 ml.) is heated at 55° C. for 16 hours. The solvent is evaporated at reduced pressure. The residue is chromatographed on a column containing 175 g. of silica gel made up in chloroform. The product is eluted with 5% methanol in chloroform and is obtained as a light orange viscous oil weighing 6.1 g. (53%).
