There is only one published example of amine
interchange of thioacetamide with piperidine [1], as
follows from reviews [2 5]. We found that cyanothio-
acetamide I undergoes amine interchange in the reac-
tion with morpholine in ethanol at 20 C. Compound II
is formed at equimolar ratio of the reactants, and com-
pound III, at the 1 : 2 ratio. Alkylation of II with
-chloro-(4-acetyl)acetanilide in DMF in the presence
of a twofold excess of KOH yields previously un-
known 3-amino-2-(4-acetylphenylcarbamoyl)-5-mor-
pholinothiophene VII via intermediates V and VI.
The mechanisms of the reactions discovered and the
synthetic potential of new CH acids II and III and of
thiophene derivative VII as nucleophilic agent were
studied.
