Pyridine → Acetic acid 2-[3-(7-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)thioureido]-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(7-Fluoro-2,3-dihydro-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-3-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-thiourea (200 mg, 0.73 mmol), pyridine (0.07 mL, 0.88 mmol) and DMAP (20 mg, 0.16 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added a solution of acetyl chloride (0.06 mL, 0.81 mmol) in THF (2 mL) and the reaction mixture stirred for 16 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and extracted with water (4 times). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, solvents evaporated and the residue purified by column chromatography to yield Acetic acid 2-[3-(7-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)thioureido]-ethyl ester (125 mg, 0.40 mmol, 54%).
