Reaction Steps

A solution (0.15 M) of methyl 5-bromo-4-(2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl)-6-cyclohexyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-2-carboxylate (from Step 2) in dioxane was treated with tert-butyl-N-[2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]carbamate (1.5 eq.) and 2 N Na2CO3 solution (6 eq.) and degassed. PdCl2(PPh3)2 (0.2 eq.) was added and the suspension refluxed for 30 mins. After cooling, EtOAc was added and the solution was washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to give a residue which was purified by flash chromatography (PE:EtOAc, 95:5) to afford the title compound (89%) as a solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6, 300 K, δ) 8.00 (s, 1H), 7.73 (m, 2H), 7.47-7.43 (t, J 8.6, 1H), 7.27-7.23 (m, 2H), 4.73-4.49 (dd, J 20, 2H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 2.17-2.11 (m, 1H), 1.82-1.21 (m, 10H), 1.37 (s, 9H), 1.28 (s, 9H). MS (ES+) m/z: 569 [M+H]+.
