Compound 80 (50 mg, 0.2 mmol), 3-ethanesulfonyl-phenylboronic acid (65 mg, 0.3 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (116 mg, 0.1 mmol), and potassium carbonate (83 mg, 0.6 mmol), were combined in dioxane (2 mL) and H2O (0.2 mL) in a sealed tube under nitrogen. The reaction was heated at 150° C. in the microwave for 20 min and then concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel chromatography (5% MeOH/CH2Cl2) gave 46 mg (68%) of the title compound as a light orange solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CH3OD) δ 8.42 (t, 1H, J=2.8 Hz), 8.31 (d, 1H, J=2.8 Hz), 8.24 (d, 1H, J=2.8 Hz), 8.06 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.96 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.60-7.75 (m, 3H), 7.31 (dd, 1H, J=7.2, 1.2 Hz), 3.33 (q, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 1.37 (t, 3H, J=7.2 Hz). MS (ES) [m+H] calc'd for C18H15N3O2S, 338; found 338.
