Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-bromo-N-(2-chlorophenyl)-N-methyl-4,5-dihydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]oxepine-2-carboxamide 150 (50 mg, 0.11 mmol) in triethylamine (2 mL) containing CuI (2.1 mg, 0.011 mmol) was degassed with bubbling nitrogen for 10 min. Pd(PPh3)4 (13 mg, 0.011 mmol) was added followed by trimethylsilylacetylene (5 equiv). The reaction vessel was sealed and heated in the microwave at 130° C. for 30 min. The cooled mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethylacetate. The combined organics were concentrated and the residue dissolved in 2 mL methanol. The solution was treated with potassium carbonate (100 mg) and the suspension stirred for 2 hr at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with water and extracted with ethylacetate. The combined organics were concentrated and the residue purified by reverse phase HPLC to give 133. MS: (ESI+) 394.1.
