Reaction Steps

A 2 mL Biotage™ microwave vial was charged with copper iodide (1.1 mg, 10 mol %), and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (2.1 mg, 5 mol %). A solution of (6-chloro-5-iodo-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-acetic acid tert-butyl ester (Intermediate 4, 25.0 mg, 0.059 mmol) in DMF (0.5 mL) was added to the vial, followed by a solution of (4-ethynyl-phenyl)-methanol (15.0 mg, 0.118 mmol) in DMF (250 uL) and TEA (57 uL, 0.41 mmol). The resulting suspension was heated in a microwave synthesizer (Biotage Initiator™) at 120° C. for 5 min. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give dark brown oil which was used in the next step without further purification. LR-MS (API-ES): calculated for C22H21ClN2O3S 428.1, observed m/e 429.0 (M+H)+ (Rt 3.05 min).
