Reaction Steps

A 100-mL three-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser, magnetic stirrer and nitrogen inlet was charged with 104e (214 mg, 1.04 mmol), 2,6-dibromobenzyl acetate 104g (519 mg, 2.08 mmol), cesium carbonate (678 mg, 2.08 mmol), N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine (92 mg, 1.04 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (10 mL). After bubbling nitrogen through the resulting suspension for 30 min, copper iodide (99 mg, 0.520 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. (oil bath temperature) for 16 h. After this time, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (50 mL). The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford a 30% yield (138 mg) of 2-Bromo-6-(1-oxo-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzothieno[2,3-c]pyridin-2(1H)-yl)benzyl acetate 104f as a yellow oil: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) d 7.59 (dd, 1H, J=7.0, 1.5 Hz), 7.30-7.24 (m, 2H), 5.23 (m, 2H), 4.06 (m, 1H), 3.77 (m, 1H), 2.98 (m, 1H), 2.83-2.77 (m, 3H), 2.50 (m, 2H), 2.04 (s, 3H), 1.85 (m, 4H)
