Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.00 g of 3-nitrothieno[3,4-b]pyridin-4(1H)-one 10 and 9 ml of phosphorous oxychloride is stirred at 105° C. (bath temperature) for 1 hour and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue is taken up in chloroform and washed with aqueous ammonia and water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel. Elution with dichloromethane-ether (50:1 v/v) affords 2.02 g (60%) of Compound 11. Recrystallization from ether-petroleum ether affords colorless crystals melting at 139°-140° C.
