Reaction Steps

A flask was charged with 3-amino-5-phenyl-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (515 mg, 2.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 5-cyclohexyl-5-oxo-pentanoic acid ethyl ester (500 mg, 2.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), phenyl silane (240 mg, 2.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), dibutyltin dichloride (67 mg, 0.22 mmol, 0.1 equiv) and dioxane (2.0 mL). The resulting solution was heated at 120° C. with microwave for 2 hours. The solution was then concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, EtOAc/heptane 5% to 40%, to give oil that contained starting material. The material was further purified with silica gel column chromotography, EtOH/DCM 2% to 10% to give product 150 mg (yield 15%).
