Acetic Anhydride → 2-Formylaminothiophene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To acetic anhydride (4.7 ml) under ice cooling, formic acid (4.7 ml) was added dropwise, to which 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (2.8 g, 16.4 mmol) was added and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, ether was added, and the precipitate that deposited was filtered off. Ether was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 2-formylaminothiophene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (3.0 g, 15.3 mmol).
