Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine (4.0 g) in methanol (45 ml) was added dropwise to a suspension of 1-methylsulphinyl-1-methylthio-2-nitroethylene (3.6 g) in methanol (150 ml) at 20° for 24 hours. Evaporation of the reaction mixture and recrystallisation from ether gave the title compound as a pale orange crystalline solid m.p. 101°-102°.
