Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-[4-(2,4dDimethoxyphenyl)(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)]-5-methylthiothiophene-2-carboxylate: 99 mg (0.424 mmol) of methyl 4-(aminothioxomethyl)-5-methylthiothiophene-2-carboxylate (Maybridge Chemical Co. LTD., Cornwall, U.K.) was dissolved in 5 mL of reagent grade acetone. 2-Bromo-2′,4′-dimethoxyacetophenone (0.440 mmol; 114 mg) was added and the solution was allowed to reflux for 2.5 h. The solution was allowed to cool and the crude product was collected as a solid and washed with methanol and dried yielding 91 mg (56% yield) of methyl 4-[4-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)]-5-methylthiothiophene-2-carboxylate.
