Acetic Acid → 1-amino-5-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5H-thieno(3,4-c)pyrrole-4,6-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.309 g of 1-nitryl-5-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5H-thieno(3,4-c)pyrrole-4,6-dione was suspended in 20 mL of ethanol and 20 mL of water, and 0.7 g freshly-activated iron powder (washed with water after hydrochloric acid treatment) and 5 mL acetic acid were added and refluxed for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered. The filtered solution was evaporated to dryness; and the remaining residue was dissolved in 150 mL of ethyl acetate, washed with 40 mL of water and 40 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated to dryness. The remaining residue was purified on silica gel column chromatography to obtain a solid (0.095 g).
