Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-amino-3-carboxythiophene 2 is refluxed with ammonium formate and formamide to give the cyclized intermediate 3 which is then treated with thionyl chloride to afford the chloro derivative 4. Boc-protected aminopiperidine 5 is reductively alkylated with a variety of arylaldehydes 6 to provide the corresponding intermediates 7. Deprotection of 7 with trifluoroacetic acid treatment yields the free amine intermediate 8. Reflux of a mixture of the key intermediates 4 and 8 in i-propanol or acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine yields the final compound 1.
