Reaction Steps

In a sealed test tube hydrocinnamic acid (1.5 mmol) is suspended in a mixture of DMF (0.15 mmol) and dichloromethane (7.5 mL). A solution of oxalyl chloride (3.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (7.5 mL) is then added and the mixture stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After that, the solvents and excess of oxalyl chloride are removed in vacuo, the residue is dissolved in toulene (7.5 mL) and added to 2-amino-3-cyano-4,7-dihydro-5H-thieno[2,3-c]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1 mmol) in a vial suitable for microwave technology. Diisopropyl ethyl amine (1.5 mmol) is added, the vial is capped and the mixture heated for 30 min at 150° C. using microwave technology. Purification is achieved by filtration followed by washing (water) and crystallization (ethanol).
