Methyl 2-amino-3-thiophenecarboxylate – description and application

Methyl 2-amino-3-thiophenecarboxylate [4651-81-4] or 2-amino-3-carbomethoxythiophene or 2-amino-3-thiophenecarboxylic acid methylester is a white solid with the melting point of 72-73 °C.[1]

Preparation of Methyl 2-amino-3-thiophenecarboxylate:

It can be prepared by modifed Gewald reaction[2] using methyl cyanoacetate and 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol in the presence of triethylamine in methanol. [3]

Application of Methyl 2-amino-3-thiophenecarboxylate:

2-Aminothiophene derivatives are important five-membered building blocks in organic synthesis. Urea derivatives of 2-amino-3-carbomethoxythiophene exhibited promising in vitro cytotoxicity against a human cancer cell lines as an effective binders of ribonucleotidereductase protein.[4] It was used as a building block in synthesis of various thienopyrimidine derivatives which are  interesting structural element in development of pharmaceutical compounds.[5] Among others, these heterocycles have been used as part of kinase inhibitors to regulate dysfunctional cell signalling in cancer cells,[6] as calcium receptor antagonists,[7] transglutaminase inhibitors,[8] as peptidase IV inhibitors[9] and against hepatitis C virus infections.[10]
