Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[2-amino-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylthio]-acetonitrile (0.70 g, 2.82 mmol) in 5% EtOH/HCl (20 ml) is refluxed for 2 hours. The solvent is then evaporated under vacuum and the residue diluted with H2O. The resulting aqueous solution is washed with CHCl3, basified with conc. NH4OH and the precipitate extracted with CHCl3. The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give the product as a pale yellow solid (0.45 g, 64% yield, m.p. 94-96° C.). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 3.14 (s, 2H), 5.04 (br s, 2H), 6.92-7.10 (m, 3H). MS (ESI): m/z 249 (M+H+).
