Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds possessing the 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole moiety

摘要

A series of novel heterocyclic combinatorial libraries containing 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole, thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazine and thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine heterocyclic moieties were obtained by parallel solution-phase synthesis. Key steps include different reactions of initial alkyl 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylates, such as alkylation with alkylating agents; transformation of the carboxylate group into different reactive functionalities, followed by reactions with electrophilic species; intramolecular cyclizations; and amide bond formation. Simple manual techniques for parallel reactions were coupled with easy purification procedures to give high-purity final products.
