Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-[3-(2-thienyl)acrylamido]benzoic acid (273 mg, 1 mmol) in acetone (2 ml) were added potassium carbonate (194 mg, 1.4 mmol) and dry dimethylformamide (1 ml). To the resulting solution, ethyl iodide (218 mg, 1.4 mmol) and dry dimethylformamide (2 ml) were added and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water. The precipitated solid was collected by suction, and recrystallized from methanol to give pale yellow crystals of the desired compound (197 mg, yield, 65%). m.p., 120°-122° C.
