In a microwave vial, 3-bromo-4-methyl-thiophene (653 mg, 3.69 mmol), 2-formyl phenylboronic acid (500 mg, 3.36 mmol) and 7 ml of actonitrile were mixed together. 6.7 ml of 1N aqueous sodium carbonate was added to above solution, followed by 5 mole percent of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II). The reaction vessel was sealed and heated at 150° C. for 5 minutes with microwave irradiation. After cooling, 50 ml of ethyl acetate was added, the organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried with sodium sulfate. The organic solvent was evaporated to give crude product, which was purified by ISCO CombiFlash column to give 530 mg of 2-(4-methyl-thiophen-3-yl)benzaldehyde, yield: 78%.
