A new efficient variation of the Gewald reaction is described. A number of tetrasubstituted 2-acyl aminothiophenes have been prepared via a one-pot microwave assisted Gewald reaction on solid support. This reaction proceeds in good yields within only a few hours rendering diverse products in a time-effective manner. The scope and limitations of the reaction have been investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
