Diiodomethane → Ethyl 4-cyano-3,5-diiodothiophene-2-carboxylate

Temperatur

38 °C

To a solution of ethyl 4-cyano-5-[(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)amino]-3-iodothiophene-2-carboxylate (4.50 g, 9.53 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) at room temperature was added trifluoroacetic acid (22.5 mL, 292 mmol). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. The solvent was evaporated and the excess trifluoroacetic acid was removed by azeotroping with toluene. The crude material was diluted with ethyl acetate, then treated with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate five times and the combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography was performed to yield ethyl 5-amino-4-cyano-3-iodothiophene-2-carboxylate (2.85 g, 88%). LCMS: (FA) ES+, 323. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ: 8.18 (s, 2H), 4.20-4.16 (m, 2H), 2.50-2.48 (m, 3H). To a suspension of 5-amino-4-cyano-3-iodothiophene-2-carboxylate (2.85 g, 8.85 mmol) in acetonitrile (46.2 mL) under argon was added diiodomethane (2.49 mL, 31.0 mmol). The mixture was heated to 38° C. for 30 minutes, then amyl nitrite (2.59 g, 22.1 mmol) was added dropwise over 5 minutes. The reaction was slowly allowed to cool to room temperature then the mixture was concentrated and column chromatography was performed to yield the title compound (3.20 g, 79%). LCMS: (FA) ES+, 434. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ: 4.33-4.27 (m, 2H), 2.51-2.47 (m, 3H).
