Diphenyl ether (15 ml) was heated to reflux and 2,2-dimethyl-5-[(4-phenyl-thiophen-2-ylamino)-methylene]-[1,3]dioxane-4,6-dione (1.41 g, 4.29 mmol) was added in portions with evolution of gas. The reaction mixture was kept at reflux for a further 45 min, before cooling to room temperature. Trituration with diisopropyl ether and petroleum ether (40-60°) gave 3-phenyl-7H-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-4-one. Yield=0.7 g, (72%).
