Phenacyl bromide → N-(3-Morpholinopropyl)-N-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromoacetophenone (60 mg, 0.3 mmol) and (3-morpholin-4-yl-propyl)-thiourea (61 mg, 0.3 mmol) in dry ethanol (3 mL) was heated at reflux for 10 min, cooled to room temperature, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was suspended in dichloromethane (3 mL) followed by the addition of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (105 μL, 0.6 mmol) and thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (34 μL, 0.32 mmol). The reaction mixture was maintained at room temperature overnight, then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was dissolved in DMSO (1.5 mL) and subjected to HPLC purification (Method Y). The resulting free amine was dissolved in MeOH (1 mL) and 1M HCl/ether (50 mL) was added. The precipitate was filtered and dried in vacuo to provide the title compound (67 mg) as an off-white solid as the hydrochloride salt. LC/MS (ESI) m/z 413.9 [M+H]. HPLC retention time (Method A)=2.78 min.
