Acrylic Acid → HCID 10161003, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 0.138 g (0.349 mM) portion of 6-amino-4-(3-bromoanilino)[1]benzothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile is dissolved in 2 mL of tetrahydrofuran and 2 mL of dimethylformamide at 0° C. To this is added 0.042 g (0.583 mM) of acrylic acid, 0.105 g (0.575 mM) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine and 0.106 g (0.554 mM) of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride with stirring under nitrogen. The reaction mixture is stirred for 48 hours at room temperature, and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is worked up with water (3 mL) and extracted with methylene chloride (10 mL), dried with sodium sulfate and evaporated. Purification of the product is carried out by silica get chromatography, eluting with 20:1 chloroform/methanol. Further purification is achieved by preparative thin layer chromatography, eluting with the same solvent system. Finally, the product is washed with ether to provide 0.068 g (43%) of N-[4-(3-bromoanilino)-3-cyano[1]benzothieno[3,2-b]pyridin-6-yl]acrylamide, m.p. 286–287° C.
