To an ice cold (0-5° C.) solution of methyl amine (3 mL) in THF (5 mL) was added a solution of methyl 3-[(dimethylamino)diazenyl]thiophene-2-carboxylate (500 mg) in THF (5 mL) for 5 min and stirred at rt for 36 h. The solution was poured into ice cooled water and the solution was extracted with chloroform (3×100 mL). The combined chloroform layer was washed with water, brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The solution was filtered and evaporated the solvent. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel column using chloroform-methanol (98:2) as eluents to give the product, which was recrystallized from chloroform-hexane gave the product as a pale orange color solid (380 mg, 76%), mp 98-102° C.
