Reaction Steps

To a solution of malononitrile (0.34 g, 5.15 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) at 0° C. first phenylisothiocyanate (0.60 mL, 5.02 mmol) and then triethylamine (1.4 mL) were added. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 25 min, and then a freshly prepared mixture of EDC (2.90 g, 15.1 mmol), 3-methylbutylamine (1.20 mL, 10.3 mmol) and DMF (10 mL) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 2 d the mixture was poured into a mixture of ice-water (50 mL) and conc. HCl (3.0 mL). The product was extracted (2×30 mL ethyl acetate), the combined organic extracts were washed (2×30 mL brine), dried (magnesium sulfate) and concentrated. The remaining oil was mixed with methanol (3 mL), whereby a solid precipitated. After 20 h the solid was filtered off and dried in vacuo. 0.60 g (47%) of the title compound was obtained as slightly yellow crystals. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate/heptane yielded 0.40 g of an analytically pure sample, mp. 183-185° C. LCMS: MH+ calcd.: 255, found: 255. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ=0.83 (d, J=7 Hz, 6H), 1.40 (q, J=7 Hz, 2H), 1.57 (nonett, J=7 Hz, 1H), 3.18 (m, 2H), 7.10 (m, 3H), 7.33 (t, J=8 Hz, 2H), 7,87 (s, br, 1H), 9.33 (s, 1H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ=22.06, 24.90, 35.34, 37.38, 41.92, 118.11, 121.46, 124.16, 129.15, 138.81, 161.43. Anal. Calcd. for C15H18N4 (254.34): C, 70.84; H, 7.13; N, 22.03. Found: C, 70.88; H, 7.28; N, 21.90.
