Abstract
The reaction of benzoin (I) with propanedinitrile in dimethylformamide catalyzed with diethylamine gives directly 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-diphenylfurane (III), whereas this reaction catalyzed with glycine in ethanol produces the intermediate II which is transformed into III thermally or by catalysis with diethylamine. The aminofurane III reacts with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde to give azomethine IV, and it produces 2-amino-3-thioamido-4,5-diphenylfurane (V) by reaction with H2S in dimethylformamide.
