Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-acetyl-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate (0.3 g, 1.21 mmol) was dissolved in DCE (3.0 mL). 4-methoxybenzyl amine was then added to the reaction followed by acetic acid (0.1 mL, 1.69 mmol) and NaBH(OAc)3 (0.41 g, 1.93 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir for 5 d at room temperature before it was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The reaction mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×) and the combined organic layers was dried over Na2SO4. After concentrating in vacuo, the crude reaction mixture was purified by flash column chromatography to provide the amine. 1H (600 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.03 (s, 1H), 7.84 (s, 1H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.41 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.18 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 6.85 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 4.40 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.93 (q, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 3.57 (dd, J=21.0, 12.9 Hz, 2H), 1.42-1.26 (m, 6H). MS: cal'd (MH+) 370, exp (MH+): 370.
