Participants

Reaction Steps

2.2 Grams of 3-methoxy-4-cyano-5-methylsulfonylisothiazole was dissolved in 20 ml of DMF, and 1.5 g of 3-butyn-1-ol and 4.3 g of 30% KOH were added at room temperature with stirring, after which the reaction solution was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction solution was ice-cooled to 5° to 10° C., 5.1 g of iodine and 3.2 g of potassium iodide were added thereto with stirring, and then 6.6 g of 10% KOH was added dropwise. The temperature of the reaction solution was returned to room temperature, and after stirring for 1 hour, water was added to the reaction solution, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain crude crystals. The crystals were recrystallized from ether to obtain 2.1 g of crystals having a melting point of 71° to 73° C.
