Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In an appropriate vessel, methyl 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate (2.5 g; 15.9 mmol) was combined with 4-tert-butylbenzene sulfonyl chloride (3.70 g; 15.9 mmol) and dissolved by addition of pyridine (5.00 mL; 63.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 65° C. for 2 hours cooled to room temperature, diluted with aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 mL; 2M) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude solid was recrystallized from a minimal amount of isopropanol to give the title product as a yellow solid (5.2 g).
