Stannous chloride dihydrate → 5-Amino-4-(thiazol-4-yl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-nitro-4-(thiazol-4-yl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile (0.071 g, 0.31 mmol) in ethyl acetate (3 mL) was added tin (II) chloride dihydrate (0.29 g, 1.27 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated in an oil bath set at 70° C. under condenser. After 20 min. the mixture was cooled to RT and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, 40:60 ethyl acetate/hexane) gave 5-amino-4-(thiazol-4-yl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile (24 mgs, 38%) Retention time (min)=1.837, method [4], MS (ESI) 208.0 (M+H).
