Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (0.71 g, 4.4 mmol), 2-fluoropyridine-5-boronic acid (0.619 g, 4.4 mmol), caesium carbonate (2.9 g, 8.8 mmol), and palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (0.470 g, 0.44 mmol) in DME (40 mL), IMS 20 mL) and water (10 mL) was divided across three microwave vials and each was heated by microwave irradiation to 120° C. for 20 minutes. The batches were combined and concentrated and the residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium carbonate and DCM. The aqueous phase was isolated and acidified using dilute HCl (pH 2) giving a precipitate which was collected by filtration to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.815 g). LCMS m/z 224.07 [M+H]+ R.T.=2.83 min (Analytical Method 8).
