Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, sodium carbonate (16 mg, 0.15 mmol), water (1 mL), palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (27 mg, 0.02 mmol) and 6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)chroman (40 mg, 0.15 mmol) were added to a solution of methyl 2-{3-bromothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl}-2-(tert-butoxy)acetate (14g) (55 mg, 0.15 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL). The mixture was heated at 110° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was then cooled at room temperature, concentrated and water (20 mL) was added. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/ethyl acetate 90/10) to afford the desired product (14h) as a white solid (30 mg, 0.07 mmol, 49%).
