Abstract

:
The title compounds – N-(3-acetyl-2-thienyl)-2-bromoacetamide and N-(3-acetyl-2-thienyl)-2-phthalimidoacetamide – were synthesized in one step from 3-acetylthiophen-2-amine and the corresponding acetyl halogenides. Detailed spectroscopic data (1H NMR, 13C NMR, 15N NMR, MS, IR) for these compounds are presented.

Recently, we have investigated a modified Gewald reaction [1] for the preparation of 3-acetyl-2-aminothiophenes [2]. We here report the synthesis of two acetamides derived from 3-acetylthiophen-2-amine (1) (Scheme 1). These molecules are expected to be versatile intermediates for advanced investigations regarding the chemistry of 3-acetylthiophenes of type 1.

N-(3-Acetyl-2-thienyl)-2-bromoacetamide (3a):

Under stirring at room temperature, to 4.23 g (30 mmol) thiophenamine 1 [2] in 70 mL of dry 1,4-dioxane were added dropwise 6.06 g (30 mmol) of bromoacetyl bromide (2a) in 20 mL of 1,4-dioxane. After 3 h the reaction mixture was poured into ice-cold H2O (ca. 300 mL), the resulting precipitate was filtered off, washed with H2O, and dried under reduced pressure to afford pure 3a (4.72 g, 60%) as a beige powder.
The compound slowly decomposes in DMSO- or MeOH-solution.
Melting point: 96–97°C.

The reaction mixture was stirred overnight and then poured into H2O (ca. 100 mL).
