Electric Literature of 7357-70-2,Some common heterocyclic compound, 7357-70-2, name is 2-Cyanothioacetamide, molecular formula is C3H4N2S, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
2-(Bis(methylthio)methylene)malononitrile (10 g, 58.7 mmol) and cyanothioacetamide (7.06 g, 70.5 mmol) were added to a round-bottom flask and dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (21 mL). Triethylamine (16.37 mL, 117 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was added to 300 mL of 3 N hydrochloric acid. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, washed with water and dried with suction to afford 2-amino-6-mercapto-4-(methylthio)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (13.5 g, 54.7 mmol, 93% yield). LCMS m/z = 222.9 [M+H]+.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Cyanothioacetamide, its application will become more common.
