Participants

Reaction Steps

In 120 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide is dissolved 30 g of 2-cyanomethylthio-4-methoxyphenoxyacetonitrile, and 30 g of 28% sodium methoxide is added dropwise to the solution under ice-cooling and under a nitrogen gas stream with stirring, followed by stirring for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is poured in ice-cold water containing 12 g of acetic acid, and the precipitate is collected by filtration, washed with water and recrystallized from chloroform to give colorless prisms of 3-amino-7-methoxy-2H-1,5-benzoxathiepin-4-carbonitrile. Yield of 19.5 g, m.p. of 203°-205° C.
