Abstract
In this paper, a modified and facile Gewald reaction triggered by sodium polysulfide in the absence of catalytic base was developed. This approach involves a one-pot ultrasound-irritated aqueous reaction between ketones or aldehydes, malononitrile, and sodium polysulfide, which are converted into the corresponding 2-aminothiophene derivatives in moderate to high yields. In comparison with conventional methods, the prominent features of this sonocatalyzed procedure are experimental simplicity, good functional group tolerance, atom efficiency, and the use of water as a green solvent.
