Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-amino-4-methylbenzonitrile (500 mg, 3.3 mmol), sodium azide (4.3 mmol, 1.3 eq.), and triethylamine hydrochloride (4.3 mmol, 1.3 eq.) in a sealed tube, 8 mL of toluene was added. The tube was tightly capped and the reaction was stirred and heated to 100° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with another 10 mL of toluene, transferred to a separatory funnel and washed 3×20 mL with water. The aqueous layer was collected and acidified to a pH of 4 with concentrated HCl. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with acetonitrile, and dried under vacuum to afford 244 mg of 5-methyl-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)aniline. MS (EI) for C8H9N5: 176 (M+H). Step 2: N-[5-Methyl-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]thiophene-2-carboxamide: To a solution of 5-methyl-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)aniline (240 mg, 1.4 mmol) in 6 mL of DCM was added DIPEA (7.5 mmol, 5.5 eq.) followed by thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (6.8 mmol, 5 eq.). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The organic solution of the crude reaction mixture was extracted twice with aqueous HCl (0.1 M), twice with aqueous sodium hydroxide (0.1 M), and once with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The basic aqueous extractions and final brine extraction were combined and acidified to a pH of 4 with concentrated HCl. The resulting solid was collected by filtration. This crude material was further purified by redissolving the material into minimum volume of aqueous NaOH (0.1 M), and then reacidified with concentrated HCl. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with EtOAc, and dried under vacuum to afford 26.8 mg of the desired product. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ 11.60 (s, 1H), 8.35 (s, 1H), 7.98-7.94 (m, 2H), 7.90 (d, 1H), 7.33 (t, 1H), 7.20 (d, 1H), 2.42 (s, 3H). MS (EI) for C13H11N5OS: 286 (M+H).
