3-Thiophenecarboxylic acid, tetrahydro-4-oxo-, methyl ester → Methyl-4-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-2,3-dihydro-thiophene-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl-4-oxo-tetrahydro-thiophene-3-carboxylate (5.75 g, 35.9 mmol) and 2-fluoro-4-iodo-aniline (9.4 g, 40.9 mmol) were heated to reflux in a mixture of ethanol (25 mL) and acetic acid (0.3 mL) for 18 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature, filtered and the solid product dried in vacuo to provide methyl-4-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-2,3-dihydro-thiophene-3-carboxylate (5.70 g, 42% yield). MS (EI) for C12H11FINO2S: 380 (MH+).
