Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)-2-propenoic acid, methyl ester (8.12 g, 1 eq) in dimethoxyethane (14 mL) was added a solution of ethylamine (2.16 g, 1.2 eq.) in dimethoxyethane (6.5 mL). The suspension turned to solution, and a white solid began to precipitate. After about 10 min the solvent was removed and the residue was filtered with diethyl ether to yield 2-cyano-3-ethylamino-3-methylthio-2-propenoic acid, methyl ester (7.2 g): mp 86°-88° C.
