1-Methylpiperazine → 2-Methoxycarbonyl-3-chloro-4-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)thiophene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-methoxycarbonyl-3-chloro-4-(bromomethyl)thiophene (0.20 g, 0.74 mmol) in methylene chloride (7.5 mL) was added 1-methylpiperazine (0.095 mL, 0.86 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature. After 16 hours, the mixture was poured onto methylene chloride (20 mL) and washed with dilute aqueous NaHCO3, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel afforded 0.085 g (40% yield) of 2-methoxycarbonyl-3-chloro-4-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)thiophene as a tan solid; NMR (CDCl3) 7.4 (s, 1), 3.9 (s, 3), 3.5 (s, 2), 2.3-2.7 (br m, 8), 2.2 (s, 3) ppm.
