Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-methyl 3-(4-((2-formyl-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)oxy)phenyl)acrylate (30 mg, 0.081 mmol) and 1-((l-isocyano-2-methylpropyl)sulfonyl)-4-methylbenzene (38.7 mg, 0.163 mmol) in MeOH (1.5 mL) at room temperature was added NaOMe (13.20 mg, 0.244 mmol) as a solid. The resulting mixture was warmed to 80° C. for 3 h after which time the reaction was quenched by addition of brine and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting crude material was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 0-20% EtOAc/Heptane) to afford (E)-methyl 3-(4-((2-(4-isopropyloxazol-5-yl)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)oxy)phenyl)acrylate (10 mg, 0.022 mmol, 27% yield) as a yellow oil. LC/MS (m/z, MH+): 450.0.
