Triethylamine → tert-butyl 4H,5H,6H,7H-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine (1.3 g, 9.0 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (25 ml), and the solution was mixed with t-butyl bicarbonate (3.1 ml, 13 mmol) and triethylamine (1.3 ml, 9. 0 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 13 hours. The reaction solution was mixed with dichloromethane, washed with water and saturated brined and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. When the solvent was removed by evaporation from the organic layer under a reduced pressure and the thus obtained material was separated and purified by a silica gel column chromatography, it was able to isolate a part of the title compound, but the most part was obtained as its mixture with t-butyl bicarbonate (total yield, 2.3 g).
