Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-[ethyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-4-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (1.9 g), Lawesson's reagent (2.1 g) and tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was stirred at 40° C. for 4 hr. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained oil was crystallized from dichloromethane-toluene and washed with toluene to give 7-[ethyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-4-methyl-1H-indole-2-carbothioamide (2.0 g, yield:quantitative) as pale-yellow crystals. A mixed solution of the obtained crystals (2.0 g), bromomalonaldehyde (2.4 g) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (50 mL) was stirred at 70° C. for 3 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained oil was crystallized from dichloromethane-toluene to give the title compound (1.6 g, yield 70%) as pale-yellow crystals.
