Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The reaction flask was flushed with nitrogen and charged with 4-(4-bromo-phenyl)-morpholine (2.134 g, 8.81 mmol), 5-formyl-furan-2-boronic acid (1.832 g, 13.10 mmol) and sodium carbonate (3.016 g, 28.46 mmol). A mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (35 mL), ethanol (10 mL) and water (13 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min under a nitrogen atmosphere. Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(II) (0.205 g, 0.29 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred and heated at 80° C. for 18 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between ether (250 mL) and water (100 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on flash Silica (100 mL, 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford 5-(4-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde (1.36 g, 60%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 3.26 (2H, dd, J=5.2, 3.6 Hz), 3.87 (2H, dd, J=5.2, 3.6 Hz), 6.69 (1H, d, J=4.0 Hz), 6.93 (2H, m), 7.26 (1H, s), 7.30 (1H, d, J=4.0), 7.74 (2H, m), 9.58 (1H, s). ESI-MS: 258.0.
