Potassium Carbonate → 2-(pentylthio)-N-(2-thienylmethyl)-3-quinoline carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 300 mg (1.0 mmol) 2-mercapto-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)quinoline-3-carboxamide (precursor VVV02) in DMF (2.3 ml) was mixed with 151 mg (1.1 mmol) K2CO3 at room temperature and stirred for 30 min. Then 131 μl (1.0 mmol) 1-iodopentane were added and the mixture was stirred for a further 3 days at RT. Then the mixture was concentrated to small volume under vacuum and the residue was taken up with EE and washed with water. The aqueous phase was extracted with EE and the combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to small volume under vacuum. Crystallisation of the residue from EE yielded 146 mg (0.4 mmol, 39%) 2-(pentylthio)-N-(2-thienylmethyl)-3-quinoline carboxamide. MS: m/z 371.1 [M+H]+.
