2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenol → 7-(2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)-2-(1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 91 (4.2 g, 11.5 mmol), potassium carbonate (7.95 g, 57.5 mmol) and 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenol (4.97 g, 31.6 mmol) was heated at 190° C. in diphenyl ether (15 ml) for 4.5 hrs, cooled to room temperature, diluted with DCM and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography (eluents hexane and acetone/hexane, 45:55) to afford title compound 92 (3.4 mg, 61% yield) as a yellow solid MS (m/z) 487.0 (M+H).
