Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen atmosphere a solution of dimethylzinc in toluene (1.2 M, 19.1 mL) is added to a mixture of 6-bromo-pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazole-7-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (11.4 mmol) and [1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (0.23 mmol, complex with CH2Cl2) in dioxane (35 mL). The mixture is heated to reflux for 2 h, stirred at RT for 12 h and diluted by addition of MeOH (2.3 mL) and TBME. The mixture is washed with hydrochloric acid (1.0 M) and water, dried over MgSO4, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography (gradient: heptane to heptane/EtOAc 8/2) to give the desired product. LC-MS: tR=0.91 min; [M+H]+=210.0.
