Phenethylamine → N-cyano-N'-(2-phenylethyl)-2-thiophenecarboximidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl N-cyano-2-thiophenecarboximidate (0.33 g, 2.0 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (2 ml), and 2-phenylethylamine (0.27 g, 2.2 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue thus obtained was crystallized from diethyl ether-hexane to give the title compound (0.50 g, 1.97 mmol, yield: 98%) as colorless crystals.
