5-(3-Methanesulfonylamino-prop-1-ynyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester → 5-(3-Methanesulfonylamino-propyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(3-methanesulfonylamino-prop-1-ynyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3.0 g, 10.9 mmol) in EtOAc (100 mL) and MeOH (50 mL) was hydrogenated with 10% Pd/C (680 mg) at 50 psi for 7 h. The solution was filtered through a pad of Celite with the aid of MeOH and was concentrated in vacuo to provide the title compound as an off-white solid (2.95 g). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.62 (d, 1H), 7.23 (d, 1H), 4.29 (m, 1H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 3.18 (q, 2H), 2.93 (m, 5H), 1.96 (m, 2H).
