Benzoyl isothiocyanate → N-benzoyl-N'-(3-cyano-4,5-dimethyl-2-thienyl)thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carbonitrile (1.52 g, 10.0 mmol) in 1.4-dioxane (20 mL) was added benzoylisothiocyanate (1.63 g, 10.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature under nitrogen overnight. The precipitation was collected by filtration, washed with EtOAc/Hexanes (1:4), and dried under vacuum overnight to give N-(3-Cyano-4,5-dimethylthiophen-2-ylcarbamothioyl)benzamide as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ2.23 (s, 3H), 2.31 (s, 3H), 7.58-7.54 (m, 2H), 7.68-7.66 (m, 1H), 7.94 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 9.13 (bs, 1H). MS 316 (MH+).
