Reaction Steps

To a 10 mL vial was added trans-cyclohexane diamine (283 mg, 2.5 mmol, 0.5 equiv), 3-Bromo-5-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.24 g, 7.4 mmol, 1.5 equiv), K2CO3 (1.37 g, 9.9 mmol, 2.0 equiv), CuI (473 mg, 2.5 mmol, 0.5 equiv), (S)-6-Cyclohexyl-piperidin-2-one (900 mg, 5.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and 1,4-dioxane (5.0 mL). The mixture was flushed with N2 and stirred at 110° C. for 48 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, EtOAc/heptane 30% to give product 800 mg (yield 40%).
