1,2-Dichloroethane → 5-Nitrothiophene-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Nitro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid (7.50 g, 43.3 mmol), NH4Cl (6.95 g, 130 mmol), HOBT (8.62 g, 56.3 mmol), and EDC (12.46 g, 65.0 mmol) were combined with DMF (100 mL) and DIEA (15.13 mL, 87.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The brown solution was concentrated, diluted with saturated NaHCO3, and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated. The solid residue was triturated with CH2Cl2 and filtered to isolate the title compound as a colorless solid.
