Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,4-dibromothiophene (3 g, 12.5 mmol), 3-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzonitrile (2 g, 12.5 mmol), Na2CO3 (2.7 g, 25 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (1.4 g, 1.25 mmol) in a mixture of toluene/EtOH/H2O (40 mL, 5:3:2) was stirred at 80° C. under nitrogen overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (80 mL), and washed with water and brine. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo, and purified on silica gel column (PE: EtOAc=30:1) to afford 4-(4-bromothiophen-3-yl)-3-methylbenzonitrile (Scheme III, 13, X1=4-cyano-2-methylphenyl) (2.4 g, yield 68%) as yellow oil. 1H NMR (CD3OD 400 MHz): δ 7.56 (s, 1H), 7.50-7.48 (m, 2H), 7.31 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 7.22 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 2.10 (s, 3H).
