Procedure

For the preparation of the amine starting material of Example 10f, α-methyl-2-thiophenethanol, acetyl chloride and aluminum chloride were reacted in methylene chloride to give (RS)-2-(5-acetyl-2-thienyl)-1-methylethyl acetate. The resulting acetate was saponified with sodium hydroxide in methanol to give 5-[(RS)-2-hydroxypropyl]-2-thienyl methyl ketone which was subsequently reacted with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride to give (RS)-2-(5-acetyl-2-thienyl)-1-methylethyl-p-toluenesulfonate, m.p. 101°-103°. With sodium azide in dimethylsulfoxide there was obtained therefrom 5-[(RS)-2-azidopropyl]-2-thienyl methyl ketone which was oxidized with bromine in sodium hydroxide solution to give 5-[(RS)-2-azidopropyl]-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid. With thionyl chloride, there was obtained therefrom the corresponding acid chloride and from this there was prepared with ammonia 5-[(RS)-2-azidopropyl]-2-thiophenecarboxamide, m.p. 79°-80° C., from diethyl ether. Treatment with triphenylphosphine and hydrolysis gave 5-[(RS)-2-aminopropyl]-2-thiophenecarboxamide, m.p. 91°-92° from acetonitrile.
