Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate (5.52 g, 0.046 mol) and triethylamine (5.52 g, 0.055 mol) in acetonitrile (100 mL) at room temperature was added 1-(4-chloropyridin-3-yl)ethanone (6.5 g, 0.042 mol). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 hours. Upon cooling to room temperature, the solvent was evaporated and the residue obtained partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous NaHSO4, filtered and concentrated. The oily residue was passed through a pad of silica (ethyl acetate/hexane: 5/1) to afford ethyl 3-methylthieno[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate (1.6 g, 22%). LCMS (FA) ES+ 222; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.10 (s, 1H), 8.50 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 7.98 (d, J=17.6 Hz, 1H), 4.37 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 3.58 (t, J=5.9 Hz, 2H), 1.38 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 3H).
