Participants

Reaction Steps

12.68 g (65.9 mmol) 2-thiophene-2-yl-methylene-cyclohexanone, 7.00 g (70.0 mmol) cyanthioacetamide and 10.00 g (72.4 mmol) potassium carbonate are refluxed in 100 ml acetone for 8 h. Then, 1.05 g (32.8 mmol) sulfur are added and refluxed for 12 h. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is suspended in 600 ml ethanol/water (1:5). Following acidification with glacial acetic acid, the resulting precipitate is sucked off, washed with 200 ml water, suck dried and dried in vacuo at 50° C. 16.50 g (92%) 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-mercapto-4-thiophen-2-yl-quinoline-3-carbonitrile is obtained.
