Approaches to brominated thiophene-2-carboxylic acids by electrophilic bromination of the corresponding acids and esters were compared and investigated. A synthetic route was developed involving direct bromination of ethyl 5-alkylthiophene-2-carboxylates followed by saponification of the resulting ethyl 5-alkyl-4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylates. The key bromination step is selective in dichloromethane solution at 0-5 °C and furnishes the corresponding ethyl 5-alkyl-4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylates in excellent yields. No migration or isomerization of the alkyl substituents was observed. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.

A study of the S1 binding of lead 5-methylthiothiophene amidine 3, an inhibitor of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, was undertaken by the introduction of a variety of substituents at the thiophene 5-position. The 5-alkyl substituted and unsubstituted thiophenes were prepared using organolithium chemistry. Heteroatom substituents were introduced at the 5-position using a novel displacement reaction of 5-methylsulfonylthiophenes and the corresponding oxygen or sulfur anions. Small alkyl group substitution at the 5-position provided inhibitors equipotent with 3 but possessing improved solubility.
