Procedure

To a 5 mL microwave vial, added a solution of (E)-tert-butyl 3-(4-((6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)oxy)phenyl)acrylate (50 mg, 0.13 mmol) in anhydrous DMA (1.5 mL), followed by 1-bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (35.3 mg, 0.16 mmol), chloro[2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-3,6-dimethoxy-2′,4′,6′-tri-i-propyl-1,1′-biphenyl][2-(2-aminoethyl)phenyl]palladium(II) (BrettPhos palladacycle 1st generation, 10.4 mg, 0.013 mmol), trimethylacetic acid (40.1 mg, 0.392 mmol) and potassium carbonate (54.2 mg, 0.392 mmol). The microwave vial was scaled, purged and back-filled with nitrogen. The reaction mixture subjected to microwave irradiation for 2 h at 150° C. Upon completion the reaction was diluted with EtOAc, and washed with water and brine. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a red brown residue which was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 0-30% EtOAc/heptane) to afford (E)-tert-butyl 3-(4-((6-methoxy-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzo[b]thiophen-3 yl)oxy)phenyl)acrylate (59.4 mg, 0.11 mmol, 86% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ ppm=1.42-1.61 (m, 9 H), 3.77-3.98 (m, 3 H), 6.31 (d, J=15.66 Hz, 1 H), 6.87-7.04 (m, 3 H), 7.28 (d, J=9.09 Hz, 1 H), 7.46 (d, J=2.53 Hz, 1 H), 7.47-7.57 (m, 3 H), 7.65 (d, J=8.08 Hz, 2 H), 7.89 (d, J=8.08 Hz, 2 H), LC/MS (m/z, MH+): 471.40.
