Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(3-Chloropropanamido)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxamide (250 mg, 1.28 mmol) and triethylamine (0.18 mL, 1.28 mmol) were stirred in DCM (5 mL). 3-chloropropionylchloride (162 mg, 1.28 mmol) was added dropwise under a nitrogen atmosphere. Stirring was continued for 2 h. 2 M HCl (20 mL) was added and the reaction mixture extracted into DCM (3×50 mL). The combined DCM layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to give the desired product as a yellow solid (290 mg, 1.01 mmol, 79%).
