Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-cyano-3,5-diiodothiophene-2-carboxylate (0.473 g, 1.09 mmol) and N-[4-(trimethylstannyl)pyridin-2-yl]acetamide (0.392 g, 1.31 mmol) in dioxane (10.2 mL) was added lithium chloride (0.139 g, 3.28 mmol), copper(I) iodide (0.0624 g, 0.328 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.0947 g, 0.0819 mmol). The reaction flask was evacuated and backfilled with argon, then the solution was heated at 110° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol was added until almost all solids had dissolved. The suspension was filtered through celite and the filtrate was evaporated. Column chromatography was performed to yield the title compound (0.312 g, 65%). LCMS: (FA) ES+ 442. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ: 8.54-8.49 (m, 2H), 8.31 (s, 1H), 4.38-4.32 (m, 2H), 2.13 (s, 3H), 1.36-1.29 (m, 3H).
