Sodium Carbonate → Triisopropyl({3-methyl-5-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]thien-2-yl}methoxy)silane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of triisopropyl{[3-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)thien-2-yl]methoxy}silane (intermediate 116, 0.40 g) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (12 ml) and water (6 ml) was treated with 4-bromo-trifluoromethoxybenzene (0.26 g), sodium carbonate (0.26 g) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (0.120 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 2 hours and then partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with further ethyl acetate and then the organic solutions combined and dried over magnesium sulfate. The crude product was purified by Si SPE using dichloromethane as eluent to give the title compound as a yellow gum.
