Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.2 g of 7-chloro-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydro-indeno[1,2-b]pyrrol-2-one in 100 ml of pyridine is added 2.2 g of diphosphorus pentasulfide, and the mixture is stirred at 90° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is then cooled, poured into ice-cold water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent is distilled off. The residual oil is chromatographed over silica gel with chloroform eluant. The purified product is crystallized with isopropyl ether and recrystallized from the same solvent to give 2.5 g of 7-chloro-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydro-indeno[1,2-b]pyrrol-2-thione, melting at 225°-227° C.
