Reaction Steps

Heat copper(I) cyanide (0.84 g, 9.4 mmol) and 6-bromobenzo[b]thiophene (prepared as described in WO 01/23381) (1.0 g, 4.7 mmol) at 160° C. for 13 h. Cool the mixture to 0° C., add 33% aqueous ethylenediamine (20 mL) and dilute with ether. Wash the organic mixture with brine, dry over Na2SO4 and evaporate. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc/hexane (0:1 to 1:3) to give the desired intermediate (0.58 g, 78%). GC-MS m/z: 159 (M+).
