Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 7-{3-[(3-methyl-2-furoyl)amino]phenoxy}thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-methyl-2-furoic acid (166 mg, 1.32 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (10 ml) were added HATU (552 mg, 1.45 mmol) and DIPEA (341 mg, 2.64 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, and 330 mg of crude methyl 7-(3-aminophenoxy)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate from step 1 was added. The mixture was then heated at 65° C. for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature, and poured into 100 ml of water. 2M HCl was added until pH=4. The precipitates were filtered, washed with water and dried to give the crude, which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 2˜3% of MeOH in chloroform to afford methyl 7-{3-[(3-methyl-2-furoyl)amino]phenoxy}thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate as off-white solid. Yield: 230 mg, 26% for 2 steps.
