Abstract
Synthesis of unstable 2-aminothiophene by way of its hydrochloride salt has been achieved in excellent yield. The key reaction in the scheme involves a novel heterocyclization of benzylthionitriles, which would appear to have general utility. Spectral and physical properties are tabulated and a possible mechanism is proposed.
