Methanol → Methyl 3-amino-5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 5-bromo-3-[(trifluoroacetyl)amino]thiophene-2-carboxylate (5.3 g), potassium carbonate (10 g), methanol (100 mL) and water (25 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction system was concentrated under reduced pressure, and ethyl acetate and water were poured thereinto. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Insoluble material was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (3.3 g) as a yellow solid.
