HCID 8028TetrahydrofuranSolvent

Procedure

3-Trifluoromethylphenyl thiourea (200 mg, 0.91 mmol), 4-cyanobenzaldehyde (238.2 mg, 1.82 mmol) and methyl acetoacetate (211 mg, 1.82 mmol) are dissolved in 5 ml THF. Ethyl polyphosphate (0.30 g) is added and the reaction mixture is stirred at reflux temperature overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction is quenched with 10 ml of water and extracted with 10 ml ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers are dried with sodium sulfate and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The product is purified via preparative HPLC (RP18-column; eluent: acetonitrile-water, gradient 10:90 to 90:10).
