Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of of 2-cyano-thioacetimidic acid 4-methoxy-benzyl ester (42 g, 0.19 mol) in 191 mL of ethyl acetate at 0° C. was added phenoxycarbonylisothiocyanate (34 g, 0.19 mol), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 24 hours. The mixture was diluted with ether and filtered. The solids were washed with ether, collected and dried in vacuo, affording 56 g (73%) of 2-cyano-3-mercapto-3-phenoxycarbonylamino-thioacrylimidic acid 4-methoxy-benzyl ester as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 12.81(s, 1H), 9.01 (s, 1H), 8.68 (s, 1H) 7.28-6.99 (m, 7H), 6.69 (d, 2H, J=8.8 Hz), 4.17 (s, 2H), 3.64 (s, 3H) ppm; MS (APCl, m/z): 400 [M+H]+.
