2-Mercaptoacetamide → HCID 3207460, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 20 g of 2-chloro-6,7-dimethoxy-3-quinolinecarbonitrile in 500 ml of dimethylformamide was added 20 g of 2-mercaptoacetamide. To the resultant mixture was added dropwise a solution of 15 g of potassium hydroxide in 100 ml of water. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and enough additional water was added to give a homogeneous solution. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours and then poured into 4 liters of water. The yellow precipitate which formed was separated by filtration and dried to give 3-amino-6,7-dimethoxy thieno[2,3-b]quinoline-2-carboxamide melting at about 278.5°-279.5° C. with decomposition.
