Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-methyl-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1.50 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10.5 mL) was added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (1.27 g), followed by stirring at room temperature for 2.5 hours. Subsequently, tert-butyl alcohol (1.44 mL) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undeca-7-ene (1.17 mL) were added thereto, followed by heating at 50° C. for 24 hours. To the reaction mixture was added ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with 1 M hydrochloric acid and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution in this order, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain tert-butyl 5-methyl-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate (1.78 g).
