Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2.5 g (10 mmol) of methyl 4-cyano-5-(methylsulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate (Example 139, step (a)) in dry methanol (15 mL) was added p-methoxybenzylmercaptan (3.8 mL, 28 mmol) and triethylamine (1.4 mL, 10 mmol). This solution was refluxed for 15 min and cooled. The resulting solid was collected on a buchner funnel and washed with methanol (2×25 mL) to methyl 4-cyano-5-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methylthio]thiophene-2-carboxylate (2.84 g, 89%) as a solid.
