Isobutyryl chloride → Tert-butyl (2-isobutyramido-4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (2-amino-4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)carbamate (200 mg, 0.689 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 mL) was added isobutyryl chloride (0.08 mL, 0.76 mmol, 1 equiv.) and TEA (0.23 mL, 1.72 mmol, 2.5 equiv.) at 0° C. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h. The reaction was then diluted with dichloromethane and water. The organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc/hexanes) to afford tert-butyl (2-isobutyramido-4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)carbamate (0.2 g, 81% yield).
