Reaction Steps

120 parts of ethyl thioglycolate were added to a mixture of 241.5 parts of N,N-dimethyl-N'-(4-chloro-3-cyano-5-formylthien-2-yl)formamidine, 138 parts of potassium carbonate and 1,400 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide. After the slightly exothermic reaction had died down, the reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. 1,000 parts of ice, 1,000 parts of water and 150 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid were then added. The precipitate was filtered off with suction, washed with water and dried. This gave 284 parts (93% of theory) of N,N-dimethyl-N'-(3-cyano-5-ethoxycarbonylthieno[3,2-b]thien-2-yl)formamidine.
