Participants

Reaction Steps

Thiophene (25 mmol), acetaldehyde (20 mmol) and 4-isopropylbenzamide (10 mmol) were stirred in acetic acid (10 ml) at 60° C. for 4.5 hours to obtain N-[1-(2-thienyl)ethyl]-4-isopropylbenzamide. Yield: 7%. This result means that a general method which uses acetic acid as a solvent gives the product in a low yield.
