Reaction Steps

6-Hydroxymethyl-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (500 mg, 2.12 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) and Et3N (443 mL, 3.18 mmol) followed by mesyl chloride (197 mL, 2.54 mmol) were added. The solution was allowed to stir for 30 min and the solution was poured into 50 mL of Et2O. The organic solution was washed with 50 mL of 1 M KHSO4 followed by 50 mL of brine. The solution was dried over MgSO4 and the crude mesylate was used without further purification. This mesylate was dissolved in DMF (5 mL) and NaN3 (325 mg, 5.00 mmol) was added. The suspension was allowed to stir for 30 min then poured into 50 mL of water and 50 mL of EtOAc. The layers were separated then the organic solution was washed with 50 mL of brine and dried over MgSO4. The solution was concentrated to give the crude azide, which was used without further purification. The azide was dissolved in 8.80 mL of THF and 2.20 mL of MeOH and 2.20 mL of a 1 M solution of LiOH (2.20 mmol) was added. The solution was allowed to stir for 18 h, then diluted with 50 mL of EtOAc and washed with 50 mL of 1M KHSO4 followed by 50 mL of brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give the crude acid that was used without further purification. This acid was dissolved in 4 mL of DMF. 1,2-phenylenediamine (459 mg, 4.24 mmol), EDC (810 mg, 4.24 mmol), and HOBT (573 mg, 4.24 mmol) were added and the solution was allowed to stir for 2 h. The solution was diluted with 50 mL of EtOAc and washed with 50 mL of water and 50 mL of brine. The organic solution was dried and concentrated then purified by flash chromatography (12-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the amide as a light yellow powder. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.49 (s, 2), 6.85 (t, 2, J=6.1), 7.10 (t, 1, J=7.4), 7.37 (t, 2, J=8.5), 7.82 (s, 1), 7.85 (d, 1, J=8.2), 7.90 (m, 2). MS cal'd 324 (MH+), exp 324 (MH+).
