Potassium Carbonate → HCID 873872, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl-3-amino-2-thiophenecarboxylate (8.00 g, 50.9 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 mL) was added potassium carbonate (1.1 eq., 56.0 mmol, 7.73 g) followed by m-anisoyl chloride (1.05 eq., 53.4 mmol, 7.51 mL) and the mixture heated under reflux for 1 hour. A white precipitate forms. The mixture was cooled in ice-water, diluted with water (100 mL) and the white solid collected by filtration and dried to yield compound 1 (12.78 g). Upon standing, an additional quantity of product precipitated from the water-acetonitrile solution; this was collected in the same fashion. (Total yield: 14.08 g, 95%).
