Reaction Steps

11.6 g of thioacetoacetanilide and then a solution of 3.4 g of potassium hydroxide in 35 ml of ethanol were added to 60 ml of ethanol and the mixture was stirred for an hour at 20° C. 8.5 g of methyl iodide were added thereto and the mixture was poured into 300 ml of water. The precipitate formed was recovered by vacuum filtration, and was dissolved in chloroform. The chloroform solution was dried and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to obtain 12g of 3-methylthio-crotonanilide melting at 175° C. After crystallization from acetone, the melting point was 178° C.
