Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-amino-5-(pyridin-4-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (0.110 g, 0.500 mmol), cyclohexanone (0.245 g, 2.50 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.105 g, 0.550 mmol) and toluene (5.0 mL) was stirred for 1 h at 90° C. The mixture was poured into aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (30 mL). Extraction with ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran (2:1, 2×30 mL), drying over magnesium sulfate, filtration and concentration at reduced pressure gave an oil. The oil was purified by column chromatography (12 g, silica, Combiflash, dichloromethane to 80:20 dichloromethane/methanol) to afford the title compound (0.053 g, 36%) as a yellow solid:
