Abstract

Under ultrasound irradiation and in the presence of H2O/Et2NH, ethyl cyanoacetate or malononitrile can combine with α-methylene carbonyl compounds and elemental sulfur to efficiently yield 2-aminothiophene derivatives within a few minutes. Products are easily obtained by simple filtration because of their spontaneous precipitation in the reaction mixtures.
