Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-methoxy-2-(2-bromo-3-methoxy-phenyl)-benzothiazole (0.182, 0.52 mmol) in dry DMF (3 mL) was added cesium carbonate (0.51 g, 1.57 mmol), triethylborane (0.58 mL, 1M in THF, 0.58 mmol) and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene palladium dichloride dichloromethane (18 mg, 0.022 mmol). The mixture was heated to 50° C. for 24 h, then cooled to room temperature. Saturated sodium bicarbonate was added and the mixture was extracted with ethylacetate. Combined ethylacetate were washed with brine, concentrated. After chromatographic purification gave 6-methoxy-2-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-benzothiazole (54 mg, 38% yield) as a white solid. Mass spec: MH+=272.
