Hydrochloric Acid → 7-[(2,4-Dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)amino]-2-(5-formylthien-3-yl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the suspension of 7-[(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)amino]-2-[5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)thien-3-yl]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (337 mg, 0.67 mmol) in 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran is added 5 mL of 2N hydrochloric acid. The mixture is stirred at room temperature, overnight. The mixture is slowly poured into 30 mL of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer is washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography eluting with 5% methanol in dichloromethane to provide 271 mg of 7-[(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)amino]-2-(5-formylthien-3-yl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile as yellow crystals, mp 259–261° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 3.85 (s, 3H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.76 (s, 1H), 7.93 (s, 1H), 8.42 (s, 1H), 8.50 (s, 1H), 8.63 (s, 1H), 9.76 (s, 1H), 9.98 (s, 1H); MS 458.1 (M−H)−.
