Abstract

Thieno[2,3-b]pyrroles can be synthesized through three steps: Gewald synthesis, alkylation, and Thorpe–Ziegler cyclization. Diethyl 3,6-bis((ethoxycarbonyl)methyl)-4-amino-6H-thieno[2,3-b]pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxylate (13) has been obtained by one-pot method in DMF in good yield and high quality. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
