Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen atmosphere, to a solution of 5-bromo-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (350 mg) in dimethoxyethane (3.5 ml) were added 3-thiopheneboronic acid (417 mg), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (282 mg), and 2M sodium carbonate (4.9 ml) at room temperature. After being heated at 80° C. with stirring for 5 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into mixed solvents of ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (6 g) using a mixed solvent of hexane and ethyl acetate (10:1). The fractions containing the objective compound were collected and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2-methoxy-5-(3-thienyl)benzaldehyde (290 mg) as yellowish oil.
