Procedure

Methyl 4,5-bis(chloromethyl)-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid (D. J. Zwanenburg and Hans Wynberg, J. Org. Chem., 34, 333-340, (1969)) (520 mg) was dissolved in acetonitrile (600 ml), methylamine (40% methanol solution, 722 μl) was added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (methylene chloride:methanol=1:0→19:1) to obtain the title compound (176 mg).

Workup

  1. distillationThe solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure
  2. customthe residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (methylene chloride:methanol=1:0→19:1)
