Reaction Steps

To a 20 mL vial was added a solution of 2-bromo-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-6H-cyclopenta[b]thiophen-6-one (0.046 g, 0.141 mmol) and N-[4-(trimethylstannyl)pyridin-2-yl]acetamide (0.063 g, 0.211 mmol) in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (2.00 mL, 25.63 mmol) was degassed for 10 minutes. Lithium chloride (0.018 g, 0.42 mmol) and copper(I) iodide (0.008 g, 0.043 mmol) was added followed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.008 g, 0.007 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. and allowed to stir for 18 h. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and quenched by the addition of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (2.00 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2.00 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was dry loaded onto silica gel and then purified using an ISCO (12 g cartridge, gradient hexanes to 100% EtOAc over 30 min) to afford the title compound (0.044 g, 78%) as a yellow oil. LC/MS (AA) ES+ 383, 385. 1H NMR (dmso-d6, 400 MHz): δ 10.68 (s, 1H), 8.40 (s, 1H), 8.36 (d, 1H), 7.66 (s, 1H), 7.50 (dd, 1H), 7.42-7.40 (m, 2H), 7.30-7.28 (m, 2H), 4.72 (dd, 1H), 3.48 (dd, 1H), 2.82 (dd, 1H), 2.11 (s, 3H).
