Abstract

Ethyl cyanoacetate dimer (1) undergoes bromination with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to afford 3-amino-4-bromo-2-cyano-pent-2-enedioic acid diethyl ester (2). This bromo derivative reacts with potassium carbonate, sodium hydrogen sulfide, aromatic amines, ammonium thiocyanate, thiourea, N-phenylthiourea, and thiosemicarbazide to afford highly substituted furan, thiophene, pyrrole, and 2-aminothiazole derivatives. Mechanistic explanations as well as structure elucidations are discussed.
