The reaction of 3-(4-methylphenyl)-2-propenoic acid (I) with ethyl chloroformate or with SOCl2 and then with sodium azide gives the corresponding azide (II), which is cyclized termally yielding 7-methylisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (III). The reaction of (III) with refluxing POCl3 affords 1-chloro-7-methylisoquinoline (IV), which is brominated with NBS and benzoyl peroxide in refluxing CCl4 giving the bromomethyl derivative (V). The condensation of (V) with 3(S)-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)pyrrolidin-2-one (VI) (obtained by cyclization of the diaminobutyric acid (VII) by means of HOBT in THF) by means of NaH in THF/DMF yields the N-substituted pyrrolidone (VIII), which is deprotected with HCl affording the 3(S)-aminopyrrolidone (IX). The acylation of (IX) with thieno [3,2-b]pyridine-2-sulfonyl chloride (X) by means of triethylamine in acetonitrile gives the sulfonamide (XI), which is finally treated with ammonium acetate in hot phenol. The intermediate sulfonyl chloride (X) has been obtained as follows: The reaction of 2-ethynylpyridine (XII) with benzylthiol and sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives 2-[2-(benzylsulfanyl)vinyl]pyridine (XIII), which is cyclized at 625 C yielding thieno[3,2-bpyridine (XIV). Finally, this compound is chlorosulfonated by reaction with BuLi, SO2 and SO2Cl2 in THF.
