Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-bromo-2-nitrophenylcarbamate obtained in step IV above (1.0 eq) in toluene, was added 10 mol % of tetrakis Pd, heated to 90° C. for 30 min, then aq K2CO3 and ethanol were added, followed by addition of 2-thienyl boronic acid portionwise and then reaction was refluxed overnight. Water was added to the reaction mixture and the organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude product, which, on purification by column chromatography afforded the desired tert-butyl 2-nitro-4-thien-2-ylphenylcarbamate. (Yield=88%)
