Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromo-2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (8.3 g), 4-trifluoromethybenzyl bromide (8.4 g) and Cs2CO3 (25 g) was stirred for 14 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then diluted with 200 ml of 1:1 hexane/EtOAc and filtered through a pad of silica gel. The filtrate was concentrated to give 15 g of the crude title compound which was used for the next step without further purification.
