1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → N-(3-Methoxybenzyl)-5-bromothiophene-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromothiophene-3-carboxylic acid (70%) (200 mg, 0.6 mmol of monobromide) was dissolved in DMF with 3-methoxybenzyl amine (0.3 g, 2.2 mmol), EDCI (0.42 g, 2.2 mmol), and HOBt hydrate (0.06 g, 0.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days, diluted with EtOAc and the organic layer washed with 10% citric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate, and brine. The organic layer was then dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to an oil, which was purified by column chromatography on silica (10 to 30 5 EtOAc/hexanes) to give the product as a colorless oil, 195 mg, 0.6 mmol, 100%. 1H NMR 500 MHz (CDCl3) 7.81 (1H, s), 7.35 (1H, s), 7.28 (1H, m), 6.93 (1H, m), 6.87 (2H, m), 6.23 (1H, br s), 4.57 (2H, d), 3.84 (3H, s).
