Benzoic Acid → [4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5(4H)-yl](phenyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzoic acid (46 mg, 0.38 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (55 mg, 0.41 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of dichloromethane (1 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (0.5 mL). N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (79 mg, 0.41 mmol) was added and the mixture was shaken 0.5 hour at room temperature. 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine (100 mg, 0.38 mmol) dissolved in dichloromethane (0.5 ml) was added and the mixture was shaken at 1000 rpm for 3 hours. Water (1 mL) was added and the mixture was shaken at 1000 rpm overnight at room temperature. The organic phase was evaporated to give 129 mg (97%) of the title compound as an oil.
