Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate (2.98 g; 11.7 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (32 mL) were added pyridine (1.54 mL; 19.0 mmol) and 4-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1.49 g; 9.5 mmol) in one portion. The reaction mixture was heated at 45° C. for 71 hours, allowed to cool to room temperature, and then diluted with dichloromethane (100 mL). The resulting mixture was successively washed with aqueous hydrochloric acid (50 mL; 2N) and aqueous saturated sodium chloride (50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield an off-white solid. The crude product was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL) and treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide (60 mL; 2N) resulting in a white precipitation. The white solid was isolated by filtration and washed with dichloromethane (50 mL). The white solid was then acidified with aqueous hydrochloric acid (60 mL; 6N) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×100 mL). The organic extracts were combined, washed with aqueous saturated sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound as a pale yellow solid (2.53 g).
