Reaction Steps

A solution of benzoylamino-cyano-acetic acid ethyl ester (400 mg, 1.7 mmol) in toluene (4 ml) was flushed with argon, and Lawesson's reagent (314 mg, 0.85 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 5 days. The solvent was evaporated, and the product was obtained after purification by silica gel chromatography using a heptane/ethyl acetate gradient as yellow solid (147 mg, 34%).
