Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.52 g of 2-ethylsulfanylphenylboronic acid pinacol ester, 0.46 g of 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylquinoxaline, 0.02 g of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), 0.05 g of 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxyphenyl, 0.84 g of tripotassium phosphate and 6 ml of 1,4-dioxane was stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours. 0.30 g of tripotassium phosphate was added to the cooled reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred under heat-reflux for 3 hours. Ethyl acetate and water were added to the cooled reaction mixture, and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was applied to a silica gel column chromatography to obtain 0.28 g of 2-(2-ethylsulfanylphenyl)-6-trifluoromethylquinoxaline (Compound of Present Invention 1).
