Triethylamine → Ethyl 6-((3-bromophenyl)amino)-5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 6-amino-5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (1.00 g, 2.95 mmol), (3-bromophenyl)boronic acid (1.184 g, 5.89 mmol), copper(II) acetate (0.803 g, 4.42 mmol), triethylamine (1.232 mL, 8.84 mmol) and 4 A molecular sieves (2 g) was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and filtered through Celite. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (hexane:EtOAc) to give ethyl 6-((3-bromophenyl)amino)-5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (740 mg, 51%). LCMS (m/z, ES+)=494, 496 (M+H, M+2).
