[S:1]1[CH:5]=[CH:4][CH:3]=[C:2]1[CH2:6][NH2:7].[C:8]([O:12][CH3:13])(=[O:11])[CH:9]=[CH2:10]>C(O)C>[S:1]1[CH:5]=[CH:4][CH:3]=[C:2]1[CH2:6][NH:7][CH2:10][CH2:9][C:8]([O:12][CH3:13])=[O:11]To a solution of thiophen-2-ylmethanamine (20.0 g, 176.7 mmol) in ethanol (1 L) at 0° C. was added methyl acrylate (15.21 g, 176.7 mmol). The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight, at which point HPLC analysis indicated that the reaction was complete. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give methyl 3-(thiophen-2-ylmethylamino)propanoate (Compound 1040) as a pale tan oil (35.21 g, 99%); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.28 (s, CHCl3), 7.22 (dd, J=1.5, 4.7 Hz, 1H), 6.97-6.95 (m, 2H), 4.16 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 4.02 (s, 3H), 3.69 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 2H), 2.95 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H) and 2.57-2.48 (m, 2H).
