Diisopropylethylamine → Ethyl 5-(3-chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonyl)-7,7-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-chloro-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (23.4 mg, 0.11 mmol), N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)uronium hexafluorophosphate (0.048 g, 0.11 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (52.2 μL, 0.3 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL, 12.9 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. A solution of 7,7-dimethyl-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxamide (31 mg, 0.1 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) was then added and the reaction was further stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue obtained was partitioned between DCM (2 mL) and half-saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (2 mL). Upon separation of the layers, the aqueous layer was extracted with additional DCM (2 mL) and the combined organic layers were concentrated to dryness to afford the title compound.
