Reaction Steps

U.S. Pat. No. 4,906,756 to Lodewijk et al. proposes the reaction of 2-(2-thienyl)ethylamine, prepared from 2-(2-nitrovinyl)thiophene, with formaldehyde to produce the formimine, cyclizing the formimine with hydrochloric acid to produce 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2,c]pyridine, and converting this compound to ticlopidine free base by reaction with o-chlorobenzylchloride. The free base is then converted to ticlopidine hydrochloride.
