Abstract

A new N-methylpiperazine-functionalized polyacrylonitrile fiber has been developed to catalyze the Gewald reaction between 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-dithiane and activated nitriles to afford 3-substituted 2-aminothiophenes in good to excellent yields (65–91%). Low catalyst loading (8.0 mol%), simple procedure, high yields, excellent recyclability, and reusability (up to 10 times with minimal loss of catalytic activity) are attractive features of this fiber catalyst.
