Benzoyl chloride → 3-(3-Benzoylamino-phenoxy-methyl)-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(3-amino-phenoxymethyl)-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (25.6 mg, 0.078 mmol) (from Example 3 supra) in THF (2 mL) were added diisopropylethyl-amine (22 mg, 0.170 mmol) (Aldrich) and then benzoyl chloride (12.5 mg, 0.085 mmol) (Aldrich). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes before it was concentrated to remove the solvent. The residue was diluted with EtOAc (40 mL), washed with aqueous 1N NaOH (10 mL), brine (2×10 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc, 60/40) to give 3-(3-benzoylamino-phenoxy-methyl)-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a white solid. (Yield 26.0 mg, 77%).
