Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 110 mg (0.483 mmol) of 3-carboxy-7-chloromethylthieno[2, 3-c]pyridine (i -5), 2 ml of dichloromethane and 2 drops of anhydrous DMF was added 0.1 ml (2.8 equivalents) of thionyl chloride, and the mixture was stirred for 2.5 hr. at room temperature. Then the solution was treated with 3 ml of anhydrous methanol, stirred for 30 min. at room temperature and refluxed for 2 min. After concentration under reduced pressure, 2 ml of anhydrous DMF, 88 mg (1.2 equivalents) of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 536 mg (8 quivalents) of anhydrous K2CO3 were added to the solution and the mixture was stirred for 4 hr. at room temperature. After concentration under reduced pressure, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and subjected to silica gel column chromatography, eluting with CH2Cl2 --ethyl acetate. From the eluate, 140 mg (Yield : 81.5%) of 2-[(3-methoxycarbonylthieno[2, 3-c]pyridin-7-yl)methylthio]benzimidazole (Ia-10) was obtained as a foamy product.
