Tributyltin Chloride → 7-Chloro-2-(tributylstannyl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-chlorothiene[3,2-b]pyridine 2 (9.82 g, 57.89 mmol) in THF (290 mL) BuLi (2.5 N, 25 mL) was added at −78° C. and the mixture stirred for 20 min at the same temperature. Tributyltin chloride (63.68 mmol, 17.3 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture stirred for 2 h at −78° C. The homogeneous mixture thus obtained was poured in water (200 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×200 mL). The organic phase was collected, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (eluent EtOAc/Hex 1:4) to afford 7-chloro-2-(tributylstannyl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (6, 24.79 g, 93% yield) as a syrup.
