Abstract

An efficient one-pot procedure for the direct catalytic synthesis of substituted 2-aminothiophenes catalyzed by l-proline under mild reaction conditions has been developed. A variety of functionalized 2-aminothiophene scaffolds were assembled in high yields by this catalytic protocol. Low catalyst loading, simple procedure, and high yields are the important attributes of this methodology.

General Procedure for the One-Pot Synthesis of Substituted 2-Aminothiophenes 3
A mixture of carbonyl compound (3.0 mmol), nitrile (3.3 mmol), sulfur (4.5 mmol), l-proline (0.3 mmol), and DMF (3.0 mL) in a 50 mL round bottom flask was stirred at 60 ˚C for 10-24 h. The crude product was directly purified through flash chromatography to give the desired product 3. The spectral data of all compounds 3a-o matched in all respects with reported data.
