Participants

Reaction Steps

5-bromo-4-cyano-3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (0.623 g, 1.65 mmol), 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (0.253 g, 1.65 mmol) and N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.570 g, 2.97 mmol) were taken up in DCM (30 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes at room temperature. N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (0.460 mL, 2.64 mmol) was added followed by benzylamine (0.216 mL, 1.98 mmol) and the solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was quenched with water, extracted with DCM (3×50 mL), washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified using ISCO chromatography on silica gel, elution with 10-25% EA in hexanes to give the product (0.574 g, 74%). LCMS: (FA) ES+, 465, 467, 469. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d1-chloroform) δ: 7.46 (d, J=2.00 Hz, 1H), 7.32-7.27 (m, 4H), 7.26-7.23 (d, J=7.78 Hz, 1H), 6.99-6.96 (m, 2H), 5.38 (bs, 1H), 4.36 (d, J=5.52 Hz, 2H).
