Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methylpyridine (32.3 mmol) and ethyl 5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylate (35.5 mmol) in anhydrous THF (58 mL) at 0° C., under N2 was added dropwise a solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1 molar solution in hexanes, 64.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred 3 h at 5° C. The resulting precipitate was filtered and acidified with 6 molar HCl. The precipitate was then filtered and dried to afford 2.9 g (35% yield) of 1-(5-chloro-2-thienyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethanone.
