Abstract
A convenient method was developed for the synthesis of the previously unknown substituted 6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-5-ones based on the three-component condensation of 3-aminothiophenes, Meldrum’s acid, and aromatic aldehydes. 3-Aminothiophenes are easily formed in situ by decarboxylation of 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylic acids in an acidic medium. Sodium salts of the latter acids were prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of the corresponding available esters.
