Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-chlorothieno[3,2-b]pyridine (6) (8.84 g, 52.1 mmol) in THF (100 μL) at −78° C. was added n-butyllithium (20.86 mL, 52.1 mmol). After 30 min, zinc chloride (52.1 mL, 52.1 mmol) (1M in ether) was added at −78° C. and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to r.t. After 1 h, palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine (1.004 g, 0.869 mmol) and tert-butyl (6-bromopyridin-3-yl)methyl(2-methoxyethyl)carbamate (10) (6 g, 17.38 mmol) in THF (25.00 mL) were added and the mixture was heated to reflux for 1 h and cooled to room temperature. To the cooled reaction mixture were added NaHCO3 (sat. aq.) (100 mL) and EtOAc (100 mL). The organic layer was collected and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic solutions were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduce pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (eluent hexane/EtOAc:5/5, 3/7, 0/100), to afford intermediate 11 (5.41 g, 72% yield). MS (m/z): 434.2 (M+H). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm): 8.65 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 1H), 8.52 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.27 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (dd, J=8.1, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 1H), 4.48 (s, 2H), 3.43-3.35 (m, 4H), 3.22 (s, 3H), 1.43-1.33 (m, 9H).
