Reaction Steps

A suspension of ethyl 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxylate (0.4 g, 2.34 mmol), chloroformamidine hydrochloride (0.67 g, 5.84 mmol) and dimethylsulfone (0.53 g, 11.7 mmol) was heated at 130° C. for 30 minutes. After cooling down to room temperature, water (10 ml) was added and ammonium hydroxide was used to neutralize the suspension till pH=8. The solid was filtered off, washed with water and dried, yielding the crude title compound (71%, 277 mg). The crude residue was used as such for further reaction.
