Thieno(3,2-c)pyridine → HCID 67246338, compound

Temperature

-78 °C

To a stirring mixture of thieno[3,2-c]pyridine (1.0 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) at −40° C. (acetonitrile-dry ice bath) was added a solution of n-butyllithium (1.6 M, 4.7 mL) in hexanes. The mixture was cooled to −78° C. followed by the subsequent addition of a solution of N-methoxy-N-methyl-propionamide (0.97 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). The cold bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm gradually to room temperature. The mixture was stirred overnight (14 hours). The mixture was treated with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (150 mL). The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL), and the extract was washed with brine solution (100 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate and was concentrated under reduced pressure, reconstituted in chloroform, and concentrated again under reduced pressure to afford the orange-brown semisolid (1.17 g). The semisolid was purified by flash silica chromatography using an Analogix silica column (115 g silica), eluting with 0-30% ethyl acetate/heptane, then 30-60% ethyl acetate/heptane. Concentration of fractions containing product gave 0.49 g of product. Starting material (0.45 g) was also isolated by evaporation of appropriate fractions.
