Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 2-isothiocyanato-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylate (Example 50b) (1.21 g, 5.27 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added ammonia (7 M in MeOH, 1.12 mL, 7.91 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 3 h, quenched with water and extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The dark orange residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (Gradient 0-50% EtOAc in Hexanes) to give the title compound (37.1 mg, 3%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ1.32 (t, 3H, J=7.1 Hz), 2.18 (s, 3H), 2.19 (s, 3H), 4.30 (q, 2H, J=7.1 Hz), 8.43 (s, 2H), 11.38 (s, 1H). MS 259 (MH+).
