Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-ethyl-4-iodo-2-methanesulfonyl-1H-pyrrole (0.28 g, 0.94 mmol) in DMF was treated with dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II) (0.033 g, 0.05 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.0054 g, 0.028 mmol) and triethylamine (0.68 mL, 4.9 mmol), treated dropwise with a solution of 2-bromo-4-ethynyl-1-fluorobenzene (0.28 g, 1.4 mmol) in DMF, stirred at room temperature for 18 h, poured into EtOAc and washed sequentially with water and brine. The organic phase is separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography of the resultant residue (silica gel, 2%-20% EtOAC-hexanes as eluent) yielded an oil; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.50 (t, 3H, J=7.3 Hz), 3.12 (s, 3H), 4.28 (q, 2H, J=7.3 Hz), 7.01 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz), 7.07 (t, 1H, J=8.5 Hz), 7.12 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz), 7.37 (m, 1H), 7.66 (dd, 1H, J=2.1, 6.6 Hz).
