Reaction Steps

To a suspension of thieno[3,2-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one (1.51 g, 10 mmol) in distilled tetrahydrofuran (20 ml), cooled to -70° C. and under a nitrogen atmosphere, was added dropwise 0.7 M lithium diisopropylamide in THF (36 ml, 25 mmol). After one hour, sulfur dioxide gas was bubbled over the surface of this suspension and the reaction was allowed to gradually warm to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether and the precipitated lithium sulfinate intermediate was collected (3.6 g). This salt was dissolved in water (25 ml) and sodium acetate trihydrate (5.4 g, 66 mmol) and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (2.5 g, 22 mmol) were added. After stirring for 16 hours, the precipitated product was collected by filtration. The product was purified by recrystallization from hot dimethyl sulfoxide by dilution with ethanol to give 1.35 g (59% yield); m.p. 300°-301° C.
