The flask was stoppered and sealed and heated at 80° C. for 3 h before being allowed to cool. The mixture was treated sequentially with 10% w/w aqueous potassium carbonate solution (80 mL), 5% w/w aqueous sodium sulfite solution (80 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution (80 mL) and the mixture extracted with dichloromethane (2×). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give a crude 7-bromo-2-iodo-quinoline. To the quinoline was added tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)tin (13.6 mL, 40.1 mmol), 1,4-dioxane (67 mL) and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (2.37 g, 3.34 mmol) and the reaction mixture heated at 100° C. for 5 h before being allowed to cool. 2 M aqueous hydrochloric acid (67 mL) was added and the reaction stirred for 1 h. The mixture was filtered and the solids washed with ethyl acetate and the filtrate evaporated to remove organics. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×) and the combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The product was purified on silica gel doped with 10% w/w potassium carbonate eluting with a gradient of 0% to 6% ethyl acetate in iso-hexanes to afford the title compound (5.5 g, 66%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.86 (s, 3H), 7.72-7.80 (m, 2H), 8.21 (ABq, ΔδAB=0.11, JAB=8.5 Hz, 2H), 8.42 (s, 1H). LCMS (m/z) 250.1/252.1 [M+H], Tr=2.90 min.
