Participants

Reaction Steps

At RT, initially 244 mg (0.76 mmol) of TBTU and 104 mg (0.78 mmol) of HOBt followed by 153 mg (0.77 mmol) of 3-aminoquinuclidine dihydrochloride are added to a solution of 180 mg (0.81 mmol) of 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxylic acid and diiso-propylethylamine (0.8 ml) in 4 ml of DMF. The mixture is stirred at RT for 4 h. For work-up, the mixture is concentrated and the residue is taken up in a mixture of chloroform and excess aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The phases are separated and the aqueous phase is repeatedly re-extracted with chloroform. The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated, and the crude product is chromatographed on silica gel (mobile phase: chloroform/methanol/conc. ammonia 100:5:0.5→100:20:2). The resulting product is taken up in THF, excess HCl in diethyl ether is added, then the mixture is concentrated and the product is dried under high vacuum. 136 mg (47% of theory) of the hydrochloride are obtained.
