Reaction Steps

A mixture of the corresponding 2-Bromo-6-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-4-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-4,7-dihydro-1-thia-4,5-diaza-cyclopenta[a]pentalene (1.1 g, 2.3 mmol), 2-(3-Fluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (0.59 g, 3.4 mmol), Na2CO3 (2 M, 5.4 mL), and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (260 mg, 0.23 mmol) in toluene/ethanol (1:1, 15 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 8 hr. The solution was cooled to room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate. The target product was purified by gravity column chromatography (30% EtOAc in hexane) to give 2-(3-Fluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-6-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-4-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-4,7-dihydro-1-thia-4,5-diaza-cyclopenta[a]pentalene as brown solid in 60% yield.
