Triethylamine → HCID 59351644, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (400 mL) of methyl 2-amino-5-ethylthiophene-3-carboxylate (10 g) in methylene chloride were added triphosgene (6.9 g) and triethylamine (12 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. To the reaction mixture were further added triethylamine (24.8 mL) and glycine methyl ester hydrochloride (20.3 g), and the mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 1 hr, washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dissolved in methanol (500 mL), sodium methoxide (14.6 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was extracted with 1N hydrochloric acid and ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound as a colorless solid (8.69 g, 60%).
