Ammonium Chloride → tert-Butyl 2-oxo-2-(thiophen-3-yl)ethylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the Weinreb amide 45 (1.53 g, 7 mmol) in anhydrous THF (10 mL) was added dropwise (over a 10-min period) a solution of thiophen-3-ylmagnesium iodide (0.3 M in THF, 50 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 h. The mixture was poured into a saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated under vacuum. The residue was further purified by silica column chromatography to provide the titled compound (776 mg, 46%). MNa+264.
