Ethyl Acetate → Methyl 2-[2-methyl-4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]-2-tert-butoxyacetate

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-[4-chloro-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]-2-tert-butoxyacetate (0.100 g; 0.262 mmol) in a mixture of DME-water (3:1) (1 mL) were added potassium carbonate (0.109 g; 0.786 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.015 g; 0.013 mmol) and 1-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (0.109 g; 0.524 mmol). The solution was stirred for 30 min at 140° C. under microwave irradiation. Ethyl acetate was added to the reaction mixture and the solution was washed with brine. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel using a gradient of ethylacetate (5-80%) in heptane furnished 0.065 g (58%) of the title compound as a light yellow oil.
