Procedure
To a large microwave vial (10-20 mL) was added 3-bromo-6-methoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzo[b]thiophene (350 mg, 1.00 mmol), ethyl 4-aminocinnamate (383 mg, 2.00 mmol) and K3PO4 (425 mg, 2.00 mmol). 1,4-dioxane (6.0 mL) was then added followed by chloro-(2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-diisopropoxy-1,1′-biphenyl)[2-(2-aminoethyl)phenyl]palladium(II) methyl-t-butyl ether adduct (RuPhos palladacycle, 73.0 mg, 0.10 mmol) and the reaction was subjected to microwave irradiation at 120° C. for 3 h. Upon completion the reaction mixture was transferred to round bottom flask with EtOAc and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting material was partitioned between water and EtOAc and separated, the aqueous layer was then further extracted with EtOAc (3×) and the combined organic layers were passed through a phase separator to remove water and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 0-30% EtOAc/heptane) to afford (E)-ethyl 3-(4-((6-methoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)amino)phenyl)acrylate (69.0 mg, 0.15 mmol, 15% yield) as a white solid. LC/MS (m/z, MH+): 460.3.
