Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-nitro-5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate (1.50 g, 7.46 mmol) in ethanol (7.5 ml) were added 2,4-bisbenzyloxybenzaldehyde (2.49 g, 7.83 mmol) and pyrrolidine (0.65 ml, 7.83 mmol). After stirring for 1 hr with heating under reflux, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The solid was washed with ethanol (3 ml×3), and dried under reduced pressure to give methyl (E)-5-[2-(2,4-bisbenzyloxyphenyl)vinyl]-4-nitrothiophene-2-carboxylate (3.08 g, yield 82%).
