Procedure

A mixture of compound 3 (237 mg, 1.00 mmol), 3-thiophene boronic acid (128 mg, 1.00 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (58 mg, 0.05 mmol, 5 mol %) and aqueous Na2CO3 (0.4 M, 5 mL, 2.00 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was heated to reflux for 75 Min. After cooling to RT, CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×10 mL), and the combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography over silica (EtOAc in hexanes, 0-20%) afforded compound 4 (132 mg, 55%) as a yellow oil. LC/MS (10-99%) m/z: 241, retention time: 3.61 min. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO): δ 7.98 (s, 1H), 7.65 (m, 1H), 7.57 (m, 1H), 7.17 (m, 1H), 2.86 (s, 6H).
