Trifluoroacetic acid → 5-[(3-Methyl-pentanoylamino)-methyl]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (2-amino-phenyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 33.43 mg (0.288 mmol) 3-methylpentanoic acid in 1 ml THF were added 46.67 mg (0.288 mmol) 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazol. After 1 h at rt 100 mg (0.288 mmol) {2-[(5-aminomethyl-thiophene-2-carbonyl)-amino]-phenyl}-carbamic acid t-butyl ester were added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at rt. 1.7 ml trifluoroacetic acid were added and after 2 h at rt sat. aqueous NaHCO3 was added carefully and the aqueous phase was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/heptane 6:4) to yield 59.3 mg (0.171 mmol) 5-[(3-Methyl-pentanoylamino)-methyl]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (2-amino-phenyl)-amide; exact MW [M+H] calc'd: 346.16; MW found [M+H]: 346.4.
