Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 500 mg (2.7 mmol) of methyl thiophen-2,5-dicarboxylate in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) is treated with 617 mg (4 mmol) 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate and 772 mg (4 mmol) N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimid hydrochloride and stirring is continued at ambient temperature for 1 hour. 410 mg (3.2 mmol) of 1-thiophen-2-yl-ethylamine are added to the reaction mixture which is subsequently stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The product is isolated after acidic work-up and purification on silica gel as waxy solid in 84% yield (0.67 g).
