Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4 g (12.5 mmol) ethyl 6-bromo-3-chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-carboxylate and 7.5 g (125 mmol) ethylendiamine were heated at 80° C. overnight. It was concentrated in vacuo, and the crude 2-ethylaminoamide was dissolved in 70 ml dry dichloromethane followed by addition of 10.5 ml triethylamine and 15 g (75 mmol) TMS iodide. After five days stirring at room temperature the reaction was almost complete as detected by TLC. It was extracted with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The title imidazoline was isolated from the residue by column chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane/ethanolic ammonia gradient.
