Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-[2-cyano-6-(methylthio)-4-pyridyl]propanoate (0.70 g, 2.50 mmol) and methyl thiosalicylate (0.84 g, 5.00 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (50 ml), and triethylamine (1.40 ml, 10.0 mmol) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 18 hrs, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate to give the titled compound (0.59 g, 57%) as pale yellow crystals.
