Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-amino-5-(pyridin-4-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (0.108 g, 0.500 mmol), 2-butanone (1.0 mL), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.0096 g, 0.050 mmol) and acetic acid (3.0 mL) was stirred for 1 h at 70° C. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (200 mL). Extraction with ethyl acetate (200 mL, 100 mL), washing with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, drying over magnesium sulfate, filtration and concentration at reduced pressure gave a residue, which was triturated with dichloromethane/ethyl acetate (1:1, 6 mL), and the precipitate was collected by filtration to afford the title compound (0.095 g, 69%) as a yellow solid:
