Reaction Steps

A mixture of m-bromobenzyl alcohol (1.05 g, 5.80 mmol), 5-iso-butyl-2-(N-tert-butylaminosulfonyl)thiophene-3-boronic acid (2.41 g, 7.55 mmol; see step (c)), Pd(PPh3)4 (270 mg, 0.235 mmol), NaOH (19.1 mL, 1.5 M aq, 28.6 mmol), EtOH (5.0 mL) and toluene (30 mL) was stirred under N2 at 90° C. for about 4 h. After cooling, water (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and this was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phase was dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified on column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane, 30:70) to give sub-title compound as a colourless syrup in 57% yield (1.26 g, 3.31 mmol).
