Potassium Carbonate → HCID 21995659, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon atmosphere, a mixture of methyl 7-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiepine-4-carboxylate (0.80 g), 4-isopropylphenyl borate (0.44 g) and potassium carbonate (0.67 g) in toluene/ethanol/water (30/3/3 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the mixture was added tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium (0.14 g), and the mixture was refluxed for 20 hours, cooled, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified with column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=1:2) to give pale yellow crystals of methyl 7-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1,1-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiepine-4-carboxylate (774.7 mg).
