Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 5-bromo-3-[(trifluoroacetyl)amino]thiophene-2-carboxylate (500 mg, 1.51 mmol), 4-(bromomethyl)pyridine hydrobromide (457 mg, 1.81 mmol), cesium carbonate (1.72 g, 5.29 mmol) and DMA (15 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 2 h. Then, water was added to quench the reaction. The organic materials were extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. After removal of the solvent at reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in MeOH (5 mL). To the solution were added potassium carbonate (500 mg) and water (2.5 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. After removal of the solvent at reduced pressure, the organic materials were extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. After removal of the solvent at reduced pressure, the residue was purified by column chromatography (Purif, silica gel, hexane to 50:50 hexane/EtOAc) to give the title compound (238 mg, 48%) as a yellow solid:
