Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 58557018, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate (349 μl, 2.00 mmol) and 1-(3-aminothiophen-2-yl)ethanone (282 mg, 2.00 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 ml) was heated under microwave irradiation at 100° C. for 1 hour. Acetonitrile was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in EtOH (2 ml), and sodium hydroxide (80.0 mg, 2.00 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, and then ethanol was evaporated under vacuum. The residue was taken up with water and washed with EtOAc. The pH of the aqueous phase was adjusted to 3 with HCl, and the aqueous phase was back-extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to obtain 2-(2-acetylthiophen-3-ylamino)-2-phenylacetic acid (188 mg, 34% yield), which was used in the next step without any further purification.
