Dimethylformamide → (Aminothiocarbonyl)amino-5-phenyl-3-thiophenecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-5-phenyl-3-thiophenecarboxamide (1.09 g, 5 mmol) and trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate (0.85 ml, 6 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide was stirred at 75° C. for 7 days. N,N-Dimethylformamide was added until solution. The solvent was removed and the resulting slurry was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with isohexane followed by methylene chloride and diethyl ether to give the product as a yellow solid (0.49 g, 35%).
