Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[(3-bromo-4-nitrophenyl)methyl]-4-methylpiperazine (0.675 g, 2.15 mmol), methyl 5-amino-3-({(1R)-1-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethyl}oxy)-2-thiophenecarboxylate (0.794 g, 2.30 mmol), Cs2CO3 (3.50 g, 10.7 mmol), XANTPHOS (0.053 g, 0.088 mmol) and tris(benzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.039 g, 0.043 mmol) in dioxane (5.4 mL) was heated to 55° C. for 1.5 h, analysed by HPLC, then cooled to room temperature. Heptane (2.4 mL), charcoal (0.27 g) and celite (0.27 g) were added. The suspension was stirred for 30 min at room temperature, and then filtered over celite, rinsing with toluene (13.5 mL×3). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash column chromatography (DCM:MeOH:NEt3 9:1:0.1) to give the title compound (0.867 g, 70%) as a red amorphous solid.
