The (4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-(6-bromoquinazolin-4-yl)-amine (200 mg, 0.49 mmol), 2-(tributylstannyl)thiophene (200 mg, 0.53 mmol) and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (catalytic) were dissolved in dioxan (3 ml) and heated at reflux under nitrogen for 4 hr. The cooled reaction mixture was absorbed onto silica and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, eluting with an ethyl acetate/iso-hexane gradient). The resulting solid was triturated with iso-hexane/ethyl acetate to give the product (120 mg, 60%) as a pale yellow solid; δH [2H6]-DMSO 9.88 (1H, b, NH), 8.76 (1H, s, 5-H), 8.49 (1H, s, 2-H), 8.12 (1H, d, 7-H), 7.82-7.60 (5 H, m, thiophene-3-H, thiophene-5-H, 8-H, 2′-H, 6′-H), 7.52-7.30 (5H, m, 5×Ph-H), 7.23 (1H, t, thiophene-4H), 7.18 (2H, d, 3′-H, 5′-H), 5.11 (2H, s, CH2); m/z 410 (M+1)+.
