Reaktionsschritte

[step 1] 3,4-Diaminothiophene dihydrochloride (300 mg, 1.60 mmol) was suspended in ethanol (12 mL), triethylamine (0.45 mL, 3.21 mmol) and ethyl 2-methoxyacetimidate monohydrochloride (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1991, vol. 34, p 2468; 906 mg, 4.01 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 70 hr. To the mixture was added saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and the mixture was extracted 3 times with chloroform. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=100/0 v/v-0/100 v/v) to give 2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazole (156 mg, 58%).
