Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 5,6-dihydro-4-oxo-4H-thieno[2,3-b]-thiopyran-5-carboxylate (5.7 g, 0.025 mole), aniline (3.5 g, 0.0375 mole) and xylene (180 ml) is refluxed for 2.5 hrs. in a Soxhlet apparatus, the thimble of which contains 20 g of Linde type 4A molecular sieve. The mixture is cooled in an ice bath, and the resulting crystalline precipitate (m.p. 155°-158° C.) is collected, dried and recrystallized from methylene chloride and isopropyl ether to give 6.5 g (90%) of off-white crystalline material, m.p. 155°-158° C.
