Reaction Steps

To a solution of 150 mg (0.745 mmol) of methyl 4-(aminothioxomethyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylate (as prepared in the previous step) in 6 mL of acetone was added 148 mg (0.745 mmol) of 2-bromoacetophenone. After refluxing for 2 h, the mixture was concentrated by boiling to a volume of ca. 2 mL. The resulting mixture was cooled (−10° C.) and filtered washing with cold acetone (2×0.5 mL). A second crop was obtained from the mother liquors and the combined crops dried to afford the title compound as a beige solid (202 mg, 90%). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ8.56 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 8.25 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 8.18 (s, 1H), 8.04 (d, 2H, J=7 Hz), 7.48 (t, 2H, J=7 Hz), 7.38 (t, 1H, J=7 Hz), and 3.89 (s, 3H). Mass spectrum (MALDI-TOF, α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid matrix) calcd. for C15H11NO2S2: 302.0 (M+H). Found: 301.8.
