Reaction Steps

A mixture of [bis(methylsulfanyl)methylene]malononitrile (40 g, 230 mmol), ethylthioglycolate (29 g, 230 mmol) and TEA (24 mL, 173 mmol) in MeOH (600 mL) was allowed to stir at reflux for 2 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool overnight and the precipitate was filtered off then washed with cold MeOH (3×50 mL) to give ethyl 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(methylsulfanyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate (52.4 g, 99%). LCMS: (FA) ES+ 275.
