Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-bromothiophen-3-yl)-3-methylbenzonitrile (2.4 g, 8.7 mmol) and ethyl 2-(tritylphosphinylidene)acetate (2.6 g, 26 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added Pd(OAc)2 (194 mg, 0.87 mmol) and PPh3 (228 mg, 0.87 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 150° C. under nitrogen overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo, and purified on silica gel column (PE: EtOAc=20:1) to give (E)-ethyl 3-(4-(4-cyano-2-methylphenyl)thiophen-3-yl)acrylate (Scheme III, 14, X1=4-cyano-2-methylphenyl) (1 g, yield 39%) as yellow oil. 1H NMR (CD3OD 400 MHz): δ 8.03 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H), 7.71 (s, 1H), 7.64 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.39-7.34 (m, 2H), 7.28 (d, J=16 Hz, 1H), 6.06 (d, J=16.4 Hz, 1H), 4.15 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 2.15 (s, 3H), 1.24 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H).
