2-amino-4,5-dimethylfuran-3-carbonitrile

Conditions: temp:10.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution of malononitrile (28.2 g) in methanol (30 mL) is added a suspension of acetoin (25 g) in methanol (30 mL) and thereto is added dropwise diethylamine (11 mL) under ice-cooling (internal temp.: 10° C.). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is poured into ice water (300 mL) and the precipitated crystals are collected by filtration to give 2-amino-4,5-dimethyl-3-furonitrile (28.91 g, yield; 75%) as colorless crystals. the precipitated crystals are collected by filtration

Conditions: temp:10.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 20.4 g (0.1 mole) of 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-dimethylfurane and 17.5 g (0.155 mole) of chloroacetyl chloride were boiled in 200 ml of toluene until the evolution of hydrogen chloride had subsided. Thereafter, the solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate. 26 g of 2-chloroacetylamino-3-cyano-4,5-dimethylfurane of melting point 114° C. were obtained in this manner. Thereafter, the solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure the residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate
