2-Thiophenecarbonyl chloride → HCID 18973068, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-chloro-1-ethyl-7-azaoxindole (400 mg, 2.03 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (537 mg, 4.4 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) at 0° C. was added thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (0.24 mL, 2.24 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then poured into ice/water. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried (magnesium sulfate) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on a column of silica gel eluting with chloroform. Fractions containing only the desired product were combined and concentrated to afford the title compound as a solid which was recrystallized from hexanes. The yield of recrystallized material was 29 mg (50%).
