After 1.5 h, the mixture was washed with 1N HCl. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was triturated with cold 30% ethylacetate/hexanes and filtered to give 162 mg (47%) of N-(3-Cyano-4,5-dimethyl-thiophen-2-yl)-2,2-diphenyl-acetamide as a white solid.
