Reaction Steps

Pellets of sodium metal (0.29 g, 12.6 mmol) were added to dry ethanol (10 mL) in a dry round-bottomed flask. When dissolution of the sodium was complete, solid 5,6-dichloro-4-azaoxindole (500 mg, 2.46 mmol) was added followed by ethyl 2-thiophenecarboxylate (0.67 mL. 5.0 mmol). The mixture was heated at reflux for one day under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled, poured into ice/water and acidified to pH 3 with 6N HCl solution. The title compound was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to afford 607 mg (79%).
