Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromothiophene-2-carbaldehyde (5.57 g, 29.2 mmol) in EtOH (90 mL) was added (diphenylmethylene)hydrazine (6.3 g, 32.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 65° C. for 4 h then concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with 10% to 20% EtOAc/heptane to afford 11 g of N-benzhydrylidene-N′-[1-(3-bromo-thiophen-2-yl)-meth-(E)-ylidene]-hydrazine as a viscous yellow oil.
