1-(2-Thienylcarbonyl)-1H-benzotriazole
1-(2-Thienylcarbonyl)-1H-benzotriazole (CAS 301164-69-2; C11H7N3OS; molar mass 229.26 g/mol) is a crystalline N-acylbenzotriazole reagent that carries a thiophene-2-carbonyl group on the benzotriazole nitrogen. As a stable, easily handled acyl-transfer reagent, it delivers the 2-thienylcarbonyl (thiophene-2-carbonyl) unit to amines, alcohols and carbon nucleophiles, supporting amide, ester and ketone formation. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade synthetic intermediate to laboratories worldwide.

Acyl-transfer reagent
Acts as a benzotriazole-activated equivalent of thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride, transferring the 2-thienylcarbonyl group to nucleophiles under mild conditions. The benzotriazole leaving group makes it a convenient, bench-stable alternative to the corresponding acid chloride.
Amide and peptide-type coupling
N-Acylbenzotriazoles react with primary and secondary amines to give the corresponding amides, often without an added coupling agent. This makes the reagent useful for introducing a thiophene-2-carboxamide motif in medicinal and exploratory synthesis.
Ester and O-acylation
The reagent acylates alcohols and phenols to furnish thiophene-2-carboxylate esters. It offers a controlled route to O-acylated products where a stable, isolable acylating agent is preferred over an acid chloride or anhydride.
C-acylation and C-C bond formation
In line with its C-C bond formation classification, the reagent can acylate suitable carbon nucleophiles, providing access to thienyl ketones and related building blocks for heterocyclic chemistry.
Research and discovery building block
Used as a thiophene-bearing synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical discovery research, where the thiophene-2-carbonyl group is a recurring structural feature.
