Procedure

To 1-cyclopropylmethyl-2-thiourea (0.60 g, 4.6 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added sodium methoxide (0.26 g, 4.8 mmol) and, after 5 minutes, ethyl cyanoacetate (0.50 mL, 4.6 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 2 h and 40 minutes followed by evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure and treatment of the resulting yellow solid with 2M aqueous acetic acid (10 mL) giving a white solid. The solid was collected by filtration and washed with 2M aqueous acetic acid (10 mL), stirred with ethanol (10 mL) followed by evaporation and drying under reduced pressure, giving the title compound (0.51 g, 56%).
