Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of benzo[b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid 5-methyl ester (2.592 g, 10.97 mmol), O-trityl -hydroxylamine (3.020 g, 10.97 mmol), EDC (3.150 g, 16.48 mmol), HOBt (1.482 g, 10.97 mmol) and DIEA (4.80 mL, 27.6 mmol) in anhydrous THF (100 mL) was allowed to stir at rt for one week and then concentrated. To the residue was added MeOH (10 mL) and water (100 mL). The syrup obtained was washed with water (10 mL) and triturated with water (90 mL) to give 2-trityloxycarbamoyl-benzo[b]thiophene-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a pale solid. MS (EI): cal'd 243.1 (M-benzothiophene moiety+H+), exp 243.2 (M-benzothiophene moiety+H+).
