Reaction Steps

A 100-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser was charged with 2-bromo-4-chloronicotinaldehyde 103a (1276 mg, 5.80 mmol), 8-thia-5-azatricyclo[7.4.0.02,7}]trideca-1(9),2(7)-dien-6-one 105e (600 mg, 2.90 mmol), CuI (551 mg, 2.90 mmol), K2CO3 (800 mg, 5.80 mmol), 4,7-dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline (696 mg, 2.90 mmol), and dioxane (20 mL). After bubbling nitrogen through the resulting solution for 10 min, the mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 16 h. It was then cooled to room temperature and filtered. To the residue was added water (20 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (50 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography eluting with 10:1 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate to afford 169a (171 mg, 17%). LCMS-ESI: [M+H]+ 347
