Methyl 3-amino-2-thiophenecarboxylate → HCID 5178717, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl-3-amino-thiophene-2-carboxylate (13 g, 82.70 mmol) in neat methyl cyanoacetate (40 mL) was heated at 210° C. for 10 h. The solution was cooled and excess methyl cyanoacetate was distilled off under vacuum. The residue was taken in methanol, sonicated briefly, and filtered. The solids were washed by cold methanol and dried to yield 9.3 g (50%) of 3-(2-cyano-acetylamino)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester as white solids. MP 146° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 4.18 (s, 2H), 7.86 (d, J=5.2 Hz, 1H), 7.93 (d, J=5.2 Hz, 1H), 10.25 (s, 1H) ppm; MS m/z=225 amu (M++1).
